Study population: This is a single-armed, prospective, international, multi-center, post-market study in patients with coronary artery disease and indication for PCI either due to anginal symptoms and a relevant stenotic coronary lesion during angiography or due to documented ischemia by non-invasive or invasive functional testing. All patients who undergo a target intervention with the SCB will be followed for 12 and 24 months after initial PCI.
Who may be able to join
- All common significant coronary lesions
- Target lesion length >34mm need to be covered with at least 2 devices
- Patients eligible for this study must be at least 18 years of age
- The patient must fulfil the standard recommendations for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), based on the last ESC recommendations within his/ her regular treatment or that the use of the product has already been decided within the regular planning of the patient's treatment
Who cannot join
- Intolerance to sirolimus
- Allergy to components of the coating
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Complete occlusion of the treatment vessel because of an unsuccessfully re-canalized
- Cardiogenic shock
- Risk of an intraluminal thrombus

About this study
Official title: PMCF - Study on the Performance/Safety of SeQuent® Sirolimus-Coated Balloon (SCB, Investigational Device) in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
The aim of the study is to assess continued safety and efficacy of the SeQuent® SCB. The product under investigation will be used in routine clinical practice according to the latest European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines and according to the Instructions for Use (IFU). Those data that are obtained in routine clinical use will be documented in the Case Report Form (CRF).
Read the detailed description
The objective of the study is to assess the continued safety and efficacy of SeQuent® SCB for the treatment of "real world" de-novo and restenotic lesions in native coronary arteries and coronary bypass grafts. Study goals are based on non-inferiority for Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon (PCB) and Dru-eluting Stents (DES) (historical data) with 80% power. Primary and secondary outcome variables are international accepted parameters in stent-trials, which sufficiently describe the efficacy and safety of the investigated device and allow clinical conclusions. Additional attention will be paid to those patients who received, by observation, a shortened dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).
The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the SeQuent® SCB in the treatment of coronary artery disease with reference vessel diameters between ≥ 2 mm and ≤ 4 mm with suitable lesion lengths. There is no limitation of lesion lengths. In case the lesion is longer than 34 mm, more than one stent needs to be used.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Ischaemia, run by B. Braun Melsungen AG at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Target Lesion Failure (TLF) (time frame: at 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04470934, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jul 2026.
