A Safety and Efficacy Study of Paclitaxel-eluting Balloon to Paclitaxel-eluting Stent

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of successful interventional therapy and unblocked blood vessel maintaining in the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis by paclitaxel -eluting PTCA- balloon catheter (3μg/mm2 balloon surface area) versus paclitaxel-eluting stent Taxus® Liberte, and the reference diameter of coronary artery stenosis is 2.5mm-4.0mm and the length ≤30mm.

Inclusion criteria

  • Related to patients
  • Patients with stable angina, unstable angina, old myocardial infarction or proven asymptomatic ischemia
  • Restenosis after the first stent implant
  • Patients who can receive any kind of coronary revascularization (including balloon angioplasty, stent implantation or coronary artery bypass grafting)
  • Patient aged 18-80 (including 18 and 80)

  • Existing sever renal failure (GFR<30ml/min) or the history, so not meeting the conditions of angiography
  • Patients with cardiac transplantation
  • Patients not included for other reasons from the investigators
  • Related to lesion
  • Evidence of extensive thrombus in target blood vessel before the intervention
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention for many in-stent restenosis lesions in same artery
  • 3-vessel disease that all need to be intervented
  • In bifurcation lesions, branch open blood vessel diameter ≥2.5mm
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention of venous graft
  • Entire shut of Grade TIMI 0 blood flow (Type Mehran IV stenosis)
  • Open lesion at left primary and within 2mm

Primary outcomes

  1. Late lumen loss in segment section at M9

    Time frame: One year

    To measure the diameter loss in segment restenosis of the target lesion vessel by using angiography

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success rate of the interventional therapy

    Time frame: Two year

    To compare the successful treatment of coronary artery stent restenosis intervention between Paclitaxel release PTCA balloon and Taxus® Liberte, including apparatus success, lesion success and clinical success

  2. Outcomes of clinical follow-up visits for drug stent versus drug balloon

    Time frame: Two year

    • Binary restenosis rate in lesion section at M9
    • Cardiovascular clinical composite endpoints related to apparatus at D30, M6, M9, M12 and M24, including cardiac death, target blood vessel myocardial infarction and target lesion vessel revascularization driven by clinical symptoms, briefed as target lesion failure
    • Cardiovascular clinical composite endpoints related to patients at D30, M6, M9, M12 and M24, including all-cause death, all myocardial infarction and any vessel revascularization
    • Thrombus event rate defined by ARC
