HGRAC approval letter had expired. The enrollment speed of FAST CTO is much slower than planning and the scientific value becomes limited due to the delayed data readout anticipation.

To assess the safety and efficacy of the BridgePoint CTO system in recanalization of CTO lesions which are resistant to a conventional wire approach in a multicenter study in Chinese population

All subjects who are candidates for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), signed the informed consent form and had chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) lesion will be evaluated for enrollment in this study.At least 100 subjects will be enrolled. Each site will be allowed to enroll up to a maximum of 25 subjects.

Primary Effectiveness Endpoint:

Technical Success: the ability of the BridgePoint Medical System to successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond a CTO lesion in the true vessel lumen/within the collaterals in those cases that were otherwise refractory to treatment with a currently marketed guidewire

Primary Safety Endpoint:

30-day MACE rate for CTO cases in which the BridgePoint Medical System was used.

MACE is defined as the composite of cardiac death, Q-wave and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction(MI), and any ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization(TLR).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject must be ≥ 18 but < 80 years of age
• Subject (or legal guardian) understands the trial requirements and the treatment procedures and provides written informed consent before any trial-specific tests or procedures are performed
• Subject is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
• Subject has symptomatic coronary artery disease or myocardial infraction (MI) with objective evidence of ischemia or silent ischemia
• Subject is an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
• Subject is willing to comply with all protocol-required follow-up evaluation
• Subject has a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥45% as measured within 60 days prior to enrollment

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:

AI1. A maximum of one de novo CTO lesion in a native coronary artery with thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0 AI2. Non-acute CTO lesion with an estimated duration of at least 3 months by clinical history and/or comparison with previous angiogram or electrocardiogram(ECG) AI3. The CTO lesion must have an angiographic landing zone≥ 10 mm proximal to any major bifurcation without severe calcification.

AI4. Lesion length < 40mm without excessive tortuosity and angulation(>45°)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subject has clinical symptoms and/or ECG changes consistent with Acute MI (include STEMI and Non- STEMI) within 1 week
• Subject has cardiogenic shock, hemodynamic instability requiring inotropic or mechanical circulatory support, intractable ventricular arrhythmias, or ongoing intractable angina
• Subject has received an organ transplant or is on a waiting list for an organ transplant
• Subject is receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy within 30 days before or after the index procedure
• Planned PCI (including staged procedures) or CABG after the index procedure
• Subject has a known allergy to contrast (that cannot be adequately pre-medicated) and/or protocol-required concomitant medications (e.g., aspirin or all thienopyridines)
• Subject has one of the following (as assessed prior to the index procedure):

Other serious medical illness (e.g., cancer, congestive heart failure) with estimated life expectancy of less than 12 months / Current problems with substance abuse (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, heroin, etc.) / Planned procedure that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound data interpretation

• Subject is receiving chronic (≥72 hours) anticoagulation therapy (i.e., heparin, coumadin)
• Subject with out of range complete blood count (CBC) values that are determined by the study physician to be clinically significant.
• Subject is on dialysis or has baseline serum creatinine level >2.0 mg/dL (177µmol/L)
• Subject has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions
• Subject has had a history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 6 months
• Subject has an active peptic ulcer or active gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding
• Subject has signs or symptoms of active heart failure (i.e., NYHA class IV) or LVEF < 45% at the time of the index procedure
• Subject is participating in another investigational drug or device clinical trial that has not reached its primary endpoint or intends to participate in another investigational drug or device clinical trial within 12 months after the index procedure
• Subject had PCI within the previous 2 weeks
• Subject with known intention to procreate within 12 months after the index procedure (women of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use a reliable method of contraception from the time of screening through 12 months after the index procedure)
• Subject is a woman who is pregnant or nursing (a pregnancy test must be performed within 7 days prior to the index procedure in women of child-bearing potential)

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria:

AE1. Target lesion is an aorto-ostial lesion or located in left main coronary artery, previous venous or arterial bypass grafts AE2. Target lesion involving a segment of previous stent AE3. Target vessel has excessive tortuosity and/or angulation proximal to the target lesion(>45°) AE4. Target lesion and/or the target vessel proximal to the target lesion is moderately to severely calcified by visual estimate AE5. Target lesion is located within 5 mm of the origin of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery or left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery by visual estimate AE6. Target lesion will be accessed via a saphenous vein graft or arterial graft AE7. Subject has unprotected left main coronary artery disease (>50% diameter stenosis) AE8. Thrombus, or possible thrombus, present in the target vessel (by visual estimate) AE9. Target vessel has a dissection greater than National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute (NHLBI) type C

All subjects who are candidates for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), signed the informed consent form and had chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) lesion will be evaluated for enrollment in this study.

Subject demographics, Physical assessment, Medical history, Angina assessment, LVEF, Cardiac medication, risk factors, and pre-procedure lesion characteristics will be summarized using descriptive statistics for continuous variables and frequency tables for discrete variables. No formal statistical testing will be done since this is a single-arm trial.

Baseline,30 days, 6 months and 12 months

HGRAC rejected all initiated applications from the leading site without any comments. Only leading site can submit the HGRAC application for multi-center studies and the ban lifting date of leading site is still unclear, it's not allowed to recruit or collect any data from the subjects after Aug 2020 (the expiry date of the approval ). The enrollment speed of FAST CTO is much slower than planning and the scientific value becomes limited due to the delayed data readout anticipation.
