Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Oversized stent deployed at low pressure (Multi-Link Bare Metal Stent or Xience Prime Evenolimus Eluting Stent)
Treatment: Devices - Stent deployed at high pressure (Multi-Link Bare Metal Stent or Xience Prime Evenolimus Eluting Stent)

Active Comparator: Stent oversize group - Oversized stent deployed at low pressure:
A stent premounted on a balloon with a nominal diameter halfway between the lumen diameter and the true vessel diameter (approximated by external elastic lamina) as assessed by IVUS. This will be based on the smallest of the vessel reference diameters proximal and distal to the lesion. In addition the vessel diameter must be greater than this diameter throughout the length of the lesion. This stent will be implanted at an inflation pressure of 10 atmospheres or less for at least 15 seconds and a second IVUS will be performed to assess the end point.

Active Comparator: High pressure group - Stent deployed at high pressure:
A stent premounted on a balloon with a nominal diameter approximately equal to the vessel segment lumen reference diameter as previously assessed by IVUS will be used. This stent will be implanted at an inflation pressure of 14 atmospheres or more for at least 15 seconds and a second IVUS will be performed to assess the end point


Treatment: Devices: Oversized stent deployed at low pressure (Multi-Link Bare Metal Stent or Xience Prime Evenolimus Eluting Stent)
Stent can include both bare metal stents and drug eluting stents. Depending on availabilities, different stent brands may be used.

Summary
Brief summary
Stent placement is now widely accepted to improve the results of angioplasty (an operation to
widen the blood vessel) and decreasing the need for further surgery. Despite their worldwide
acceptance, stent usage is still limited by renarrowing which occurs within the stent
(restenosis) in some patients within the first six months. In addition there still exists a
small risk of heart attacks soon after the stent is placed.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of trying to place the
stents using a different strategy of using low pressure oversized balloon inflations as
opposed to the usual high pressure balloon inflations. This may reduce injury to the artery
and reduce the chance of renarrowing of the stent. In order to ensure this is a safe and
effective way of performing the procedure the investigators intend to use an Intravascular
ultrasound (IVUS) catheter to look from inside the artery at the stents. IVUS has proven to
be the best way of ensuring optimal stent placement.

Primary hypothesis: Stents will be equally well expanded and apposed using a strategy of
oversized stenting at normal inflation pressures ( < 10 atmospheres ) as compared to high
pressure inflation (=14 atmospheres) as guided by intravascular ultrasound imaging.

Secondary Hypothesis: There will be no difference in acute clinical endpoints (death,
myocardial infarction, urgent revascularisation or stent thrombosis) using a strategy of
oversized stenting at normal inflation pressure as compared to high pressure inflation.

Tertiary Hypothesis: If the above is shown to be true the investigators would hope to expand
the study in order to reveal a decrease in stent restenosis using a strategy of lower
pressure balloon inflations. The investigators will assess the deployment characteristics of
drug eluting versus bare metal stents
