January 22, 2025 updated by: BAI MING, LanZhou University

An Open-Label, Prospective, Single-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Drug-Coated Autoperfusion Balloons Versus Conventional Drug-Coated Balloons Guided by IVUS-OCT Multimodal Imaging for Treating Acute Myocardial Infarction: OPERA-AMI Study

Trial Goals:

  1. Evaluation of Mid- to Long-Term Safety and Effectiveness of Drug-Coated Autoperfusion Balloon Dilatation Catheter (DCAB) versus Conventional Drug coated balloon (DCB) in Patients with ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
  2. Evaluation of Hybrid IVUS-OCT System for Intraoperative Evaluation of DCAB or Conventional DCB Treatment Safety and Effectiveness for De Novo Lesions During Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Patients with STEMI.

The primary outcome is late lumen loss (LLL) assessed at 9 months following emergency PCI, measured using quantitative coronary angiography (QCA).

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Drug Coated Autoperfusion Balloon Dilatation Catheter(DCAB)
3 μg/mm² paclitaxel-coated drug-coated autoperfusion balloon dilatation catheter (DCAB). The DCAB features two radiopaque marker rings at the balloon shoulders for intravascular imaging and positioning, self-perfusion holes on the catheter shaft, and an additional radiopaque marker ring proximal to the perfusion holes to indicate their location. The catheter shaft is hydrophilically coated to facilitate blood flow through the perfusion holes when the guidewire is retracted. Preclinical studies show this design allows 15%-20% of arterial blood to reach the distal coronary artery.
In the experimental arm, under the assessment and guidance of IVUS-OCT, STEMI patients with successfully prepared lesions will be treated with a drug-coated autoperfusion balloon dilatation catheter (DCAB). Successful lesion preparation is defined as post-pretreatment residual stenosis ≤ 30%, no type C dissections, intravascular imaging confirming no significant residual plaque burden at the dissection site, no transverse expansion > 60°, no longitudinal expansion > 2 mm, no dissection involving the media or adventitia, and no location at the stent distal end. There should be no hematoma and no significant thrombus (TIMI thrombus burden grade ≤ 2). If the angiographic and intravascular imaging results after DCAB treatment are unsatisfactory, an emergency drug-eluting stent (DES) will be implanted.
Active Comparator: Conventional Drug coated ballon(DCB)
Bingo® PTCA Drug Delivery System: drug (paclitaxel) coated balloon (DCB) with concentration of 3 μg Paclitaxel per 1 mm2.
In the control arm, under the assessment and guidance of IVUS-OCT, STEMI patients with successful lesion preparation (residual stenosis ≤ 30%, no type C dissections, no significant residual plaque burden, no dissection involving the media or adventitia, no transverse expansion > 60°, no longitudinal expansion > 2 mm, no location at the stent distal end, no hematoma, TIMI thrombus burden grade ≤ 2) will be treated with a conventional DCB coated with 3 μg/mm2 paclitaxel. If angiographic and intravascular imaging results are unsatisfactory, a bailout DES will be implanted.
