Supplemental Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the NovaCross™ Micro-catheter
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will include up to 60 eligible male and female subjects. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter when used to facilitate crossing of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions in coronary arteries. The procedure will be conducted on consenting patients diagnosed with a CTO in a coronary vessel that requires revascularization after a previously failed attempt to cross or refractory to 10 minutes of conventional guidewire attempt. This study is an extension study of Nitiloop's Pivotal study.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Interventional Interventional arm, where the NovaCross™ CTO micro-catheter will be placed in study subjects during the Total Occlusion opening procedure. |
Device: NovaCross™ Chronic Total Occlusion micro-catheter
The NovaCross™ micro catheter is a guidewire positioning and support micro catheter for improving chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossability. The NovaCross™ gains its supportive characteristics through the use of a unique operator-controlled Nitinol scaffold and an extendable segment. Investigators will use the NovaCross Micro catheter during a standard of care catheterization of patients diagnosed with coronary total occlusion.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Primary Safety Endpoint - Rate of In hospital MACE events [until discharge or 30 days, the sooner of the two]
defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), or urgent revascularization (target vessel revascularization (TVR) or urgent coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)).
- Primary Efficacy Endpoint - Intra-procedural technical success [during the procedure]
defined as the ability of the NovaCross™ microcatheter to successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond a native coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) in the true vessel lumen
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of Lesion Crossing [during the procedure]
The ability to cross the lesion with a guidewire in the true lumen, effectively dilate the CTO lesion, and place a coronary stent with residual lumen stenosis of less than 30% while restoring antegrade TIMI 3 flow
- Guidewire Facilitation and rate of successful penetration to the CTO [during the procedure]
The ability of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter to facilitate a guidewire successfully penetrating the proximal cap of the CTO
- Crossability [during the procedure]
The effectiveness of the extendable portion in intra-CTO microcatheter crossability
- Investigator visualization and ease of use [during the procedure]
The ability to have full visualization of the NovaCross during the CTO procedure and assessing the usability of the device
- Myocardial Infraction (MI) Rate [up to 30 days]
In hospital MI rate
- Device Related Adverse Events [up to 30 days]
Device-related perforation at the site of target coronary lesion and/or its proximal reference segment
