Coronary Laser Atherectomy Registry From an International Taskforce
This study is a prospective, investigator-initiated, multi-center, single arm, observational registry of performance of Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA) in standard use cases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
∙ Subjects will be included if all the following criteria are met:
• Age 18 years or over
• Patient willing to be included in the registry
• Patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes with de-novo or intra-stent restenosis (ISR) coronary lesions suitable to be treated with ELCA
‣ Non-Crossable with ICI catheter or:
⁃ Crossable with ICI catheter with significant calcium score suggesting need for calcium modification based on IVUS or OCT criteria and/or
⁃ Non-Dilatable with 1:1 NC balloon
• Mandated use of ICI:
‣ Attempted before use of ELCA or
⁃ Following ELCA and any other calcium modification strategy utilized (to evaluate whether the additional modification demonstrates significant additional modification of the calcium on ICI)
⁃ Final after DES implantation or prior to use of DCB
• Declared PCI strategy (planned use of ELCA, need for IVL/specialty balloons/alternative atherectomy and stent strategy) prior to PCI procedure
