About this trial
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) accounts for 5-10% of PCI. ISR may be linked to mechanical complications mainly under-expansion (UE), neointimal hyperplasia and/or neoatherosclerosis. International guidelines recommends non-compliant and very-high-pressure balloons, which lead to sub-optimal angiographic and clinical results. Recently, observational studies have suggested the feasibility and safety of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in UE treatment. There are no prospective randomised controlled studies comparing intravascular lithotripsy with balloons in ISR with UE.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers

And with a suspicion of stent under-expansion on angiography, possibly assisted by a stent enhancement technique
The reference diameter of the target vessel must be ≥2.5 mm and ≤5.0 mm.
Coronary flow must be TIMI 3
Disqualifiers
Heart failure with NYHA III or IV (or cardiogenic shock)
LVEF <20%
Chronic renal failure with clearance <30mL/mn according to CKD
Pregnant or breast-feeding women
