Pressure intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PICSO) in patients with coronary artery disease improves collateral flow index to higher than 30%. PICSO used in this patient population is safe, feasible and effective. Safety, feasibility and effectiveness will be tested by periprocedural and logistic data.
1 Background Good collateral flow in case of obstructive coronary artery disease and acute myocardial has beneficial effects on morbidity and mortality. Pressure controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PICSO) carries a promise of improving myocardial flow, decreasing microvascular obstruction and decreasing the rate of peri-procedural and acute myocardial infarction without the increased risk of bleeding such as is encountered with gp2b3a inhibitors. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of PICSO in patients with stable coronary artery disease and experimental short coronary artery occlusion. 2\. Objective The purpose of the study is to determine whether PICSO is safe and feasible with a femoral approach, and in what amount of cases PICSO is effective to increase collateral flow index (CFI). In this study an adapted collateral flow pressure index (CFpI) will be used and is calculated as the ratio of the distal LAD pressure during LAD balloon occlusion (PLADoccl.) and the Aortic pressure (Pao). CFI\>30% has been shown in several studies to be a significant predictor of inducible ischemia as measured by intracoronary ST-segment changes. The study is a non-randomized single centre trial using a Bayesian statistical model. 3\. Specific This study is a study in 10 elective patients with coronary artery disease assessing the safety and feasibility of adjunctive PICSO treatment during PCI using a femoral vein approach. Together with the preclinical experience using the Miracor technology, we therefore believe that the planned cohort of 10 patients is sufficient to corroborate earlier experiences on the safety of the procedure as well as present technology. For the effectiveness, 10 sets of measurements before and after the procedure in each patient will provide insight into the clinical significance since each patient will serve as her or his control. Study end-points 3.1 Primary endpoints 1. Duration from successful femoral vein cannulation until successful placement of PICSO Impulse catheter into the Coronary Sinus. 2. Relative increase in collateral flow pressure index (CFpI) during LAD occlusion with and without PICSO. 3.2 Secondary endpoints 1. Number of patients reaching collateral flow pressure index (CFpI) higher than 30% during PICSO. 2. Quantitative evaluation of pre-condition effect on relative increase of CFpI. 3. The change of ST segment as recorded at Intra coronary ECG measures during balloon inflation. 3.3 Primary safety endpoints 1. The patients are hemodynamic stable during PICSO. 2. Elevation of coronary sinus pressure 3. The 30 days MACE is comparable to other patients undergoing PCI. 1. Stroke 2. Bleeding 3. Inflammation 4. New onset of an acute coronary syndrome or newly documented heart failure, requiring therapy or hospitalization 5. Pulmonary embolism 6. Coronary sinus permanent occlusion 7. Death 8. Other Adverse Events 4. No reported Adverse Events caused by PICSO

No reported Adverse Events caused by PICSO
Time frame: 30 days
The 30 days MACE is comparable to other patients undergoing PCI.
Number of patients of reported ADE described as: 1. Stroke 2. Bleeding 3. Inflammation 4. New onset of an acute coronary syndrome or newly documented heart failure, requiring therapy or hospitalization 5. Pulmonary embolism 6. Coronary sinus permanent occlusion 7. Death 8. Other Adverse Events
Time frame: 30 days after intervention
The patients are hemodynamic stable during PICSO.
The hemodynamic is constantly monitored during the whole intervention and will be qualified by: Arterial pressure, LAD pressure, LAD velocity, Coronary Sinus pressure, ECG
Time frame: 6 hours (during the whole intervention)
Relative increase in collateral flow pressure index (CFpI) during LAD occlusion with and without PICSO.
A ComboWire (VolcanoCorp, CA, USA) will be advanced in the center lumen of an occlusion balloon. This will allow performing the measurements below the experimental occlusion.
Time frame: 6 hours (during the whole intervention)
The change of ST segment as recorded at Intra coronary ECG measures during balloon inflation.
The presence or absence of ECG signs of myocardial ischemia during balloon occlusion will also be assessed on-line by means of the ST segment changes \>0.1mV present on an intracoronary ECG lead obtained from the angioplasty guide wire placed distal to the stent (outside the OTW balloon) in the region on interest.
Time frame: 6 hours (during the whole intervention)
Number of patients reaching collateral flow pressure index (CFpI) higher than 30% during PICSO.

Quantitative evaluation of pre-condition effect on relative increase of CFpI.
A ComboWire (VolcanoCorp, CA, USA) will be advanced in the center lumen of an occlusion balloon. This will allow performing the measurements below the experimental occlusion. A comparision will be made between the LAD occlusion phase with or without PICSO.
Time frame: 6 hours (during the whole intervention)
Duration from successful femoral vein cannulation until successful placement of PICSO Impulse catheter into the Coronary Sinus.
For each case the time will be captured and the average time will be calculated from all enrolled cases.
Time frame: 1 hours (at the begin of the intervention)
Intermittent elevation of coronary sinus pressure
The coronary sinus pressure will be recorded during the whole intervention. The relative mean and max. increase during the PICSO-phase will be evaluated per Patient and over all cases.
Time frame: 6 hours (during the whole intervention)
