Bare Metal Bifurcation Stent Clinical Trial in Humans

Overview

To assess the feasibility and safety of the Medtronic Bifurcation Stent System for the treatment of single de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries with reference vessel diameters (RVD) for the proximal main vessel of 3.8 – 4.3 mm, distal main branch of 3.0 – 3.5 mm, and side branch RVD up to 2.5 mm.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Number of Participants With Target Vessel Failure (TVF) at 30 Days Post Procedure.
    • Time Frame: 30 days
    • TVF was reported if any of the following events occurred: Recurrent MI in territory not clearly attributed to a vessel other than the target lesion; Cardiac death not clearly due to a non-target vessel endpoint or Clinically driven target revascularization.

Secondary Measures

  • Device Success
    • Time Frame: During index procedure
    • Device success is reported as Historical-standard definition: attainment of <50% residual stenosis of all target lesion/s using only the assigned device and any adjunct stents as specified in the Investigational Plan.
  • Number of Participants With Target Vessel Failure (TVF) at 6 Months
    • Time Frame: 6 month
    • TVF was reported if any of the following events occurred: Recurrent MI in territory not clearly attributed to a vessel other than the target lesion; Cardiac death not clearly due to a non-target vessel endpoint or Clinically driven target revascularization.
  • Number of Participants With Target Vessel Failure at 9 Months.
    • Time Frame: 9 month
    • TVF was reported if any of the following events occurred: Recurrent MI in territory not clearly attributed to a vessel other than the target lesion; Cardiac death not clearly due to a non-target vessel endpoint or Clinically driven target revascularization.
  • Number of Participant With Target Vessel Failure at 12 Months
    • Time Frame: 12 month
    • TVF was reported if any of the following events occurred: Recurrent MI in territory not clearly attributed to a vessel other than the target lesion; Cardiac death not clearly due to a non-target vessel endpoint or Clinically driven target revascularization.

If non target vessel stent is implanted within 72 hours prior to index procedure, 2 post procedural serial CK or CK-MB measurements must be below investigational site's upper limit of normal. – PCI of non-target vessel within 24 hours prior to procedure – Planned PCI of any vessel within 30 days post-procedure – Planned PCI of the target vessel within 6 months post-procedure – During index procedure, target lesion requires treatment with device other than PTCA or cutting balloon prior to stent placement – Documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <30% at most recent evaluation. – History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within prior 6 months – Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within prior 6 months – History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions – Concurrent medical condition with life expectancy < 12 months – Currently participating in investigational drug or device trial that's not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with current trial endpoints; or requires coronary angiography, IVUS or other coronary artery imaging procedures. Angiographic Exclusion Criteria – Bifurcation angle of >90 degrees by visual estimate – Target lesion located in native vessel with saphenous vein graft or left/right internal mammary artery (LIMA/RIMA) bypass – Significant stenosis (>50%) proximal or distal to target lesion that might require revascularization or impede run off. – Target vessel is excessively tortuous (two bends >90º to reach target lesion) – Target lesion has any of following characteristics: – Lesion location is aorto-ostial, unprotected left main lesion, or within 5 mm of origin of left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), or right coronary artery (RCA). – Severely calcified – Evidence of thrombus – Co-existence of unprotected left main coronary artery disease (obstruction >50% in left main coronary artery)
