To investigate whether pre-procedural OCT-derived de novo coronary lesion phenotype (lipid-rich, fibrotic, calcific; and ACS mechanisms such as plaque rupture/erosion/calcified nodule) is associated with clinical outcomes after DCB angioplasty.
PICCOLETO IX PHENO is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, international, ambispective (retrospective and prospective) cohort study enrolling patients who underwent DCB angioplasty for de novo coronary artery disease with preprocedural OCT assessment of the target segment. OCT images (baseline mandatory; post-preparation and post-PCI when available) and angiography will be analyzed by independent core laboratories; clinical events will be adjudicated by an independent committee. The primary endpoint is clinically-driven target lesion revascularization at 12 months; secondary endpoints include device-oriented composite endpoint (cardiac death, TLR, target-vessel MI), target vessel revascularization, MI endpoints, and mortality.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
600
Clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)
Any repeat revascularization (percutaneous or surgical) of the target lesion performed for recurrent symptoms or objective evidence of ischemia attributable to the target lesion.
Time frame: 12 months
Device-Oriented Composite Endpoint (DOCE)
Composite of cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, and clinically-driven target lesion revascularization.
Time frame: 12 months
Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)
Any repeat revascularization (percutaneous or surgical) of the target vessel.
Time frame: 12 months
All-cause Mortality
Death from any cause during the study follow-up period.
Time frame: 12 months
Cardiac Death
Death attributed to cardiovascular causes, including death from unknown cause.
Time frame: 12 months
Target-Vessel Myocardial Infarction (TV-MI)
Myocardial infarction attributable to the target vessel based on clinical, electrocardiographic, and biomarker criteria according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.
Time frame: 12 months
Any Myocardial Infarction
Any myocardial infarction (target-vessel or non-target-vessel) according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.
Time frame: 12 months
