A Pilot Observational Study to evaluate safety and efficacy of the hybrid approach DES/DCB in treating de-novo diffuse lesions
This is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multi-center, pilot, noninterventional study whose aim is to assess the feasibility and the clinical outcomes of using the Restore DCB (Cardionovum GmbH, Bonn, Germany) in combination ("hybrid approach") with a new generation DES (type at operator's discretion) for the treatment of diffuse CAD encountered in daily clinical practice. The rationale of the proposed strategy derives from the characteristics of DCB in treating the atherosclerotic disease without leaving a permanent structure in the vessel especially in case of diffuse CAD -avoiding a long metallic, permanent cage within extended coronary segments
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
106
A hybrid strategy is defined as overlapping or slightly (2-3 mm) superimposing a new generation DES implantation for a de novo lesion (located in the larger, more proximal part of the vessel) and DCB inflation for a concomitant de novo small vessel disease

DOCE at 12 Months
A device oriented composite end-point (DOCE) of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI) and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR) in the DES- and/or the DCB-treated segment within 12 months after the index procedure
Time frame: 12 Months
Procedural Success
Procedural success defined as both DCB/DES delivery and implantation at the "target" lesion site with \<30% diameter stenosis (DS) in the DCB-treated segment and \<10% DS in the DES-treated segment and distal TIMI 3 flow.
Time frame: At procedure
Peri-procedural myocardial infarction
Peri-procedural myocardial infarction defined as an elevation of cardiac biomarkers (troponin or creatine kinase-myocardial band) \>3 times the upper limit of normal
Time frame: Pre-discharge
DOCE
DOCE and its singular components (cardiac death, any TV-MI excluding peri-procedural MI, ID-TLR ) in-hospital, (within 7 days after PCI) and at 30-day, 6-month, 1-year follow-up
Time frame: Pre-discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months
Thrombosis
Any definite/probable DES- or DCB-treated segment thrombosis (in-hospital, within 7 days after PCI and at 30-day, 6month, 1-year follow-up).
Time frame: 12 months
Flow-limiting dissection
Flow-limiting dissection (type C-F waiting 3 minutes after DCB inflation) requiring additional DES implantation in the DCB-treated segment
Time frame: 12 months
