Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the artery preparation concept is to perform regular longitudinal micro-incisions on the inner side of the artery ("scoring") and therefore promote a regular expansion of atheroma by balloon inflation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

FLEX Scoring Catheter plus DEB

The target lesion is prepared by the FLEX Scoring Catheter® with a 30° rotation between each passage. Angioplasty is performed during 3 minutes with paclitaxel-coated balloon(s) (PCB), all along the target lesion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

FLEX Scoring Catheter

Intervention Type DEVICE

Vessel preparation with the FLEX Scoring Catheter® with a 30° rotation between each passage is performed, followed by a DEB angioplasty.
