About this trial
International, investigator-driven, multicenter, open-label, prospective randomized controlled trial where patients with de novo lesions due to calcified nodules (CN) were randomized to drug eluting balloon (DEB) or drug eluting stents (DES).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients >18 years admitted for stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes and indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and
Severe coronary lesion with calcified nodule, confirmed with intracoronary imaging (optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound) and;
Lesion to treat in a vessel between 2.5 and 4 mm.
Disqualifiers
Inability to provide oral and written informed consent or unwillingness to come back for systematic angiographic follow-up.
Pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
Cardiogenic Shock or Cardiac arrest at the moment of the index procedure.
Impossibility to maintain double antiplatelet treatment during at least 1 month.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
EFFICACY: Late Lumen Loss (LLL)
Late lumen loss (LLL, expressed in mm) measured within the treated segment by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) as the difference between minimal luminal diameter (MLD) at the end of the interventional procedure and MLD at 9-month follow-up
EFFICACY: Net Lumen Gain (NLG)
Net lumen gain (NLG, expressed in mm) measured by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) as the difference between minimal luminal diameter within the treated segment (MLD) at 9-month follow-up and MLD at the lesion site at baseline
Secondary outcomes
SAFETY: Dissection
Freedom from dissection
SAFETY: Perforation
