LASER EXPAND: Laser-excimer Versus High-pressure Dilation to Treat Under-expansion of the Stent
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The laser-excimer technology could be an essential tool to correct the under-expansion of the stent once it has been implanted unless severe calcification. The laser-excimer technology achieves a greater minimum luminal area when treating an infra-expanded stent, when compared with the results obtained with the simple dilatation at high or very high pressure.

Detailed Description
The laser-excimer technology could be an essential tool to correct the under-expansion of the stent once it has been implanted unless severe calcification.
The investigators propose a study that serves as proof of concept for this technology (laser Excimer) used according to its intended use in this specific substrate of coronary lesions. (stent under-expansion without severe underlying calcification).The laser-excimer technology achieves a greater minimum luminal area when treating an infra-expanded stent, when compared with the results obtained with the simple dilatation at high or very high pressure.

Other: Stent under-expansion with NC Balloon
|
Procedure: NC ( Non- Compliant) Balloon dilatation
NC Balloon dilatation at pressure > NC-RBP (18-20 atm) with > 1 long inflation (> 20 minutes each)
|
Other: Stent under-expansion with Laser Excimer + NC Balloon
|
Procedure: Laser Excimer + NC Balloon
Laser Excimer + NC Balloon dilatation at pressure > NC-RBP (18-20 atm) with > 1 long inflation (> 20 minutes each)
