Overview
This study is a prospective, investigator-initiated, multi-center, single arm, observational registry of performance of Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA) in standard use cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Detailed description
The primary objective of the CLARIT study is to assess the Safety and Efficacy of ELCA in recognized indications for the device at Index PCI and during the in-hospital stay. The secondary objectives includes the safety and efficacy of ELCA at 30 days and 1 year, as well as the procedural characteristics for the assessment of the learning curve and impact on the catheter lab workflow.
500 patients will be included in 20 sites accorss 8 countries in Europe, United Kingdom and India. The patients included in the study according to eligibility criteria will be followed up one year. The total study duration is 3 years, including 2 years of recruitment.
The follow-up/visit windows include the screening/baseline period, on the day of procedure, discharge; 1 month and 1 year follow-up. The ELCA is to be used following Instruction for uses and follow-up as per hospital standard of care.
Interventions
- Device Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA)
ELCA treat a significant coronary stenosis or recanalize occluded coronary arteries using UV during percutaneous coronary intervention.
Primary outcome measures
- Procedural success during index PCI [Time frame: During Procedure]
- Freedom from in hospital Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events [Time frame: Periprocedural]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Composite endpoint of one of events reported [Time frame: 30 days and 1 year]
- Success of revascularization: Freedom from Target lesion failure (TLF) events and ICI assessed stent optimization [Time frame: 30 days and 1 year]
- Procedural Characteristic- Cost [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural Characteristic- Device success based on maximum fluence [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural Characteristic- Fluoroscopy Time [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural Characteristic- Contrast Volume [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural characteristic- Device success based on repetition rate [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural characteristic- Device success based on pulses number [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural characteristic- Device success based on lasing duration [Time frame: During Procedure]
- Procedural characteristic- Device success based on laser trains number [Time frame: During procedure]
- Procedural characteristic- Catheter access [Time frame: During Procedure]
- Requirement of hemodynamic support [Time frame: During procedure]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
Subjects will be included if all the following criteria are met:
- Age 18 years or over
- Patient willing to be included in the registry
- Patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes with de-novo or intra-stent restenosis (ISR) coronary lesions suitable to be treated with ELCA
- Non-Crossable with ICI catheter or:
- Crossable with ICI catheter with significant calcium score suggesting need for calcium modification based on IVUS or OCT criteria and/or
- Non-Dilatable with 1:1 NC balloon
