AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* In-stent restenosis (one or two stent layers) in a lesion previously treated with drug- eluting (DES) or bare metal stents (BMS) in a native coronary artery.
* The target lesion is in a vessel with a reference vessel diameter ≥ 2.0 mm and ≤ 4.0 mm by visual assessment.
* The subject has only one critical ISR lesion.
* The subject may have one other critical lesion in a non-target vessel that must be treated before the Target Lesion (TL).
* Target lesion length must be ≤ 26 mm and must be completely coverable by only one Virtue® or AGENT™ balloon. The balloon can extend up to 5 mm proximal or distal beyond the edge of the target stented length.
* The target lesion must have one of the following:
* Visually estimated stenosis of ≥ 70% and \<100% diameter stenosis, OR
* Visually estimated stenosis ≥ 50% and \< 70% with one of the following:
* abnormal fractional flow reserve (FFR) including Angio based FFR ≤ 0.80, or;
* abnormal instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) ≤ 0.89, or;
* abnormal stress or imaging stress test, or;
* ischemic symptoms referable to the target lesion
* Involved in a NSTEMI or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) event with decreasing enzymes
* Target lesion must be successfully pre-treated according to standard of care with an achieved residual stenosis of ≤ 30% by visual estimate with TIMI grade flow of 3 prior to randomization.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subject has a left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30% …
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?

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?
