the clinical evaluation of the cinatra™ corolimus-eluting coronary stent in de novo lesions in native coronary arteries

Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease

Summary: to investigate the safety and efficacy of the cinatra™ corolimus drug eluting stent for the treatment of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries.

this is a single-arm, multicentre pilot study designed to provide an indication of the effectiveness and safety of the cinatra™ corolimus eluting coronary stent system. the primary endpoint to be evaluated in this study is late lumen loss (in-stent) at 6 months post-procedure as measured by qca in the 30 participants undergoing angiography at this timepoint. late lumen loss is defined as the difference between the post-index procedure minimal lumen diameter (mld) and the follow-up mld.

or requires coronary angiography, ivus or other coronary artery imaging procedures angiographic: 1. target lesion is located in native vessel distal to anastomosis with a saphenous vein graft or a left/right internal mammary artery (lima/rima) bypass with more than 40% diameter stenosis anywhere within the graft 2. previous stenting in the target vessel. 3. the target vessel has other lesions with greater than 40% diameter stenosis based on visual estimate or on-line qca 4. the target vessel has evidence of thrombus 5. the target vessel is excessively tortuous (two bends \> 90º to reach the target lesion) 6. the target lesion has any of the following characteristics: * lesion location is aorto-ostial, an unprotected left main lesion, or within 5 mm of the origin of the left anterior descending (lad) or left circumflex (lcx) * involves a side branch \> 2.0 mm in diameter * is at or distal to a \> 45º bend in the vessel * is severely calcified 7. unprotected left main coronary artery disease (an obstruction greater than 50% in the left main coronary artery)
