Intracoronary Stenting and Restenosis - Randomized Trial of Drug-eluting Stent Implantation or Drug-coated Balloon Angioplasty According to Neointima Morphology in Drug-eluting Stent Restenosis 5

Intracoronary Stenting and Restenosis - Randomized Trial of Drug-eluting Stent Implantation or Drug-coated Balloon Angioplasty According to Neointima Morphology in Drug-eluting Stent Restenosis 5

The hypothesis of the study is, that there is a significant interaction in treatment effect between the OCT pattern of neointima (heterogeneous or homogeneous) and the type of percutaneous coronary intervention (drug-eluting stent or drug-coated balloon) in patients with in-stent restenosis.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with ischemic symptoms and/or evidence of myocardial ischemia
2. Presence of ≥ 50% restenosis after prior implantation of drug-eluting stents in native coronary vessels.
3. Availability of an OCT-pullback of the target lesion
4. Written informed consent by the patient for participation in the study.
5. Age ≥ 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Cardiogenic shock
2. Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction within 48 hours from symptom onset.
3. Target lesion located in left main trunk or bypass graft.
4. Additional coronary intervention planned within 30 days of the procedure.
5. Non-successful treatment of other lesion(s) during the same procedure
6. Severe renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate ≤ 30 ml/min)
7. Contraindications to any components of the investigational devices or dual antiplatelet therapy
8. Pregnancy (present, suspected or planned) or positive pregnancy test.
9. Previous enrollment in this trial or participation in any other study at the time of enrollment.
10. Malignancies or other comorbid conditions with life expectancy less than 12 months or that may result in protocol non-compliance.
11. Patient's inability to fully comply with the study protocol
