First-In-Human Trial of the MiStent Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) in Coronary Artery Disease

The DESSOLVE I clinical trial is to assess the safety and performance of the sirolimus-eluting MiStent SES.

The DESSOLVE I clinical trial is to assess the safety and performance of the sirolimus-eluting MiStent for the treatment for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to discrete de novo lesions \< 20 mm in length in the native coronary arteries with reference vessel diameters between 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm.

5. Target lesion vessel diameter 2.5 to 3.5 mm amenable to treatment with a maximum 23 mm long stent;
6. Target lesion \>50% diameter stenosis;
7. Patients eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI);

17. Life expectancy \<12 months;
18. Any major medical condition that may interfere with the optimal participation of the patient in this study;
19. Patient is currently participating/planning to participate in an investigational drug or another device study prior to completing 12-months follow-up;
20. Target vessel(s) has been treated within 10 mm proximal or distal to target lesion with any type of PCI within a year prior to index procedure;
21. Planned or actual target vessel(s) treatment with an unapproved device, directional or rotational coronary atherectomy, laser, cutting balloon, or transluminal extraction catheter prior to stent placement;
22. Previous coronary intravascular brachytherapy;
23. Planned coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)in the first 9 months after the index procedure;
24. Prior PCI of a non-target vessel must be at least 30 days prior to study enrollment;
25. The intent to direct stent the target lesion;
26. Angiographic Exclusion Criteria: Assessed prior to stent placement;

    * In-stent restenotic target lesion;
    * More than one lesion requiring treatment in the target vessel;
    * Target vessel diameter \<2.5 mm or \>3.5 mm;
