Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are over 18 years old and have been admitted to hospital with either stable heart disease or an urgent heart condition, and your doctors have decided you need a procedure to open a blocked or narrowed heart artery (called PCI).
- During imaging inside your heart artery, doctors have found a specific type of hard, calcium-containing blockage called a "calcified nodule," confirmed by a specialised camera or ultrasound probe placed inside the artery.
- The artery being treated measures between 2.5 and 4 mm in diameter.
Who may not be able to join:
- You are unable or unwilling to give written and spoken consent to take part, or you are not able to return for follow-up check-up scans as required by the trial.
- You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are in a state of severe heart failure causing the body to shut down (cardiogenic shock) or you have had a cardiac arrest at the time of the procedure.
- You are unable to take two blood-thinning medicines together for at least one month after the procedure.
- Your doctors estimate your life expectancy is less than one year.
- The artery blockage being treated is in a specific location called the "left main stem" (the main artery branching off the heart).
- The blockage is located right at the point where the artery connects to the main large blood vessel (the aorta).
- The artery being treated has already had a stent or a special drug-coated balloon placed in it previously.
