About this trial
The objective of this multicenter, prospective, open-label, controlled, randomized trial is to demonstrate the superiority of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment on non-flow limited vulnerable plaque as compared to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in improving clinical cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Subjects must be between 18 and 80 years of age
Subject must present with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina planned for PCI
Successful stent implantation (i.e., residual stenosis less than 20%) must be done in culprit lesions and any lesions with ischemia evidence (e.g., QFR equal or less than 0.8)
Subject must have at least one native non-culprit lesion with visually estimated stenosis of 40-80% and QFR >0.8
Disqualifiers

Hypotension, shock, or need for mechanical support or intravenous vasopressors;
Creatinine clearance ≤30 ml/min/1.73 m² (as calculated by MDRD formula for estimated GFR)
