About

A prospective multi-center, single arm feasibility study to assess the safety and performance of the Boston Scientific Fully Absorbable Scaffold.

Full description

The Boston Scientific Fully Absorbable Scaffold is a device/drug combination product providing a mechanical structure for vascular lumen support (the scaffold component) and a pharmacological agent (everolimus) targeted toward reducing the injury response that leads to restenosis after scaffold implantation.

The Boston Scientific Fully Absorbable Scaffold is intended to improve the luminal diameter in subjects with ischemic heart disease due to de novo native coronary artery target lesions ≤ 12 mm in length with reference vessel diameter ≥ 2.75 mm and ≤ 3.25 mm.

Subjects who are candidates for PCI for the treatment of a de novo native coronary artery lesion will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be considered enrolled once they have signed the informed consent form and an attempt has been made to implant the fully absorbable study scaffold.

During the index procedure 1 target lesion in a de novo native coronary artery may be treated. Up to 1 non-target lesion in a separate epicardial vessel may be treated with a commercially approved DES

Inclusion criteria

Subject must be at least 18 years of age
Subject (or legal guardian) understands the study requirements and the treatment procedures and provides written informed consent before any study-specific tests or procedures are performed
Subject is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Subject has either:

Symptomatic coronary artery disease with one of the following: stenosis > 70%, abnormal fractional flow reserve (FFR), abnormal stress or imaging stress test, or elevated biomarkers prior to the procedure or Documented silent ischemia based on one of the following: abnormal fractional flow reserve (FFR), abnormal stress or imaging stress test, or elevated biomarkers prior to the procedure

Subject is willing to comply with all protocol-required follow-up evaluation
Target lesion must be <12 mm in length with reference vessel diameter >2.75 mm and <3.25 mm
Target lesion must have visually estimated stenosis >50% and <100% with thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow >1
The target lesion must be successfully predilated Note: Successful predilatation refers to dilatation with a balloon catheter of appropriate length and diameter with ≤30% residual stenosis and no dissection greater than National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute (NHLBI) type C.

Exclusion criteria

Subject has clinical symptoms and/or electrocardiogram (ECG) changes consistent with acute MI
Subjects with unstable angina or recent MI (clinically diagnosed within the past 2 weeks) must have cardiac troponin (cTn) documented prior to the procedure and are excluded if cTn is > 5x ULN
Subject has cardiogenic shock, hemodynamic instability requiring inotropic or mechanical circulatory support, intractable ventricular arrhythmias, or ongoing intractable angina
Non-target vessel or side branch has been treated with any type of PCI (e.g., balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) within 24 hours prior to the index procedure
Target vessel has been treated with any type of PCI (e.g., balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) within 1 year prior to the index procedure
Planned PCI or CABG after the index procedure
Subject has a known allergy to contrast that cannot be adequately premedicated or to the study scaffold system or protocol-required concomitant medications (e.g., everolimus or structurally related compounds, polymer or individual components, all P2Y12 inhibitors, or aspirin)
Subject has received an organ transplant or is on a waiting list for an organ transplant
Subject is receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy within 30 days before or after the index procedure
Subject has a known condition(s) of the following (as assessed prior to the index procedure):
- Other serious medical illness (e.g., cancer, congestive heart failure) that may reduce life expectancy to less than 24 months
- Current problems with substance abuse (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, heroin, etc.)
- Planned procedure that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound data interpretation
Subject previously treated at any time with intravascular brachytherapy
Subject is receiving chronic (> 72 hours) anticoagulation therapy (i.e., heparin, coumadin) for indications other than acute coronary syndrome
Subject has a platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3 or >700,000 cells/mm3
Subject has a white blood cell (WBC) count <3,000 cells/mm3

Subject is on dialysis or has baseline serum creatinine level >2.0mg/dL (177µmol/L)
Subject has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions
Subject has had a history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 6 months
Subject has an active peptic ulcer or active gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding
Subject has signs or symptoms of active heart failure (i.e., is NYHA class IV) at the time of the index procedure
Subject is participating in another investigational drug or device clinical study that has not reached its primary endpoint
Subject intends to participate in another investigational drug or device clinical study within 12 months after the index procedure

Target lesion is located in the left main
Target lesion is located within 3mm of the origin of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery or right coronary artery (RCA)
Target lesion is located within a saphenous vein graft or arterial graft or will be accessed via a saphenous vein graft or an arterial graft
Target lesion involves a side branch >2.0mm in diameter
Target lesion involves a clinically significant side branch <2.0 mm in diameter that has a clinically significant stenosis at the ostium.
Target lesion and/or target vessel proximal to the target lesion is moderately to severely calcified
Excessive tortuosity or extreme angulation proximal to or within the target lesion
Target lesion is restenotic from a previous stent implantation
