Study of Lipid Core Plaque Shift at Sites of Native Coronary Artery Bifurcation
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating LipiScan Coronary Imaging Catheter for Angina Pectoris and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot study is going to examine the hypothesis that in coronary arteries, soft lesions that contain lipid cores, but are not calcified or fibrotic and are located in proximity to side branches, are associated with side branch compromise as a result of plaque shift during angioplasty and stenting. Plaque characteristics will be detected by intravascular near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
