Absorb BVS vs. Drug Coated Balloon for Treatment Of ISR
Stopped: Information of other studies with Abseb bioresorbable scaffolds showed a higher thrombotic risk than before, the risk for the Patients is estimated too high

Plain-language summary

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.
* Male or Female, aged 18 years or above.
* Diagnosed with ISR requiring percutaneous coronary intervention: visual diameter stenosis \> 70 % and/or Fractional Flow Reserve \< 0.81 and/or non-invasive testing demonstrating ischemia. This real-life population with in-stent restenosis beside typical stable patients with ISR includes ACS patients with thrombus containing lesions, patients with multivessel disease, patients with ISR in non-infarct related artery, with ISR in bare metal stent (BMS), drug eluting stent (DES) or bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS), ISR in lesion previously treated by plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA), drug eluting balloon (DEB) or additional stent implantation.
* Double anti-platelet therapy for the duration of at least 12 months is considered possible at the time of intervention
Exclusion Criteria:
* The participant may not enter the study if the interventionist has doubts that he is not able to deliver and implant the Absorb scaffold (e.g. highly calcified lesions).
* Patients who have any contraindications for using DEB (SeQent Please) or BVS (Absorb) specified in instructions for use are not able to participate in this study.
* Women with childbearing potential must have a negative result of pregnancy test and they must use an effective contraception method for at least 12 months after study procedure.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
