The aim of this research, proposed and funded by PlaqueTec and co-ordinated by Papworth Trials Unit Collaboration, is to demonstrate the performance of the coronary artery blood sampling device (Liquid Biospy System, LBS) and establish its usefulness to collect a range of disease biomolecules from the coronary artery of interest. Using the data generated from extensive analysis of the blood samples, key biomarker data will be generated that will close a knowledge gap and facilitate the development of tailored treatments for coronary artery disease.

RECRUITINGTrans-plaque gradients (downstream value divided by upstream value) for LOX-1 and CXCL1
Time frame: Single time point (time of intervention)
Liquid Biopsy System (LBS) performance: successful positioning and successful intracoronary sampling
Success define as confirmed adequate positioning of the device across the identified lesion of interest and collection of sufficient whole blood from each functional port to generate \>100µl plasma once processed
Time frame: Single time point (time of intervention)
Correlations between primary outcome measure proteins and: patient subsets and lesion level data
Patient level subsets: * With and without type 2 diabetes mellitus * Prior/no prior history of Myocardial Infarction (MI) Lesion level data: \- Coronary fibroatheroma cap thickness and lipid arc as measured by OCT image analysis
Time frame: Single time point (time of intervention)
