Laser heart procedure under watch: 500 patients to be tracked
NCT ID NCT07348341
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will observe 500 adults with stable or acute heart artery disease who receive a laser treatment called Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA) during a standard procedure to open blocked arteries. The goal is to track how well the laser works and how safe it is by recording success rates and any heart-related problems in the hospital. Participants must be 18 or older and have suitable blockages for the laser.

Patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes with de-novo or intra-stent restenosis (ISR) coronary lesions suitable to be treated with ELCA * Non-Crossable with ICI catheter or: * Crossable with ICI catheter with significant calcium score suggesting need for calcium modification based on IVUS or OCT criteria and/or * Non-Dilatable with 1:1 NC balloon 4.
