The purpose of this study is to determine whether an experimental device called the SELUTION SLR drug eluting balloon is safe and whether it works as effectively as other currently available treatments for patients with de novo lesion (a new blockage or narrowing in a blood vessel that has not been previously treated) of the heart arteries. The study focuses on people who have a partially blocked coronary artery (blood vessel in the heart) that has not previously been treated. The SELUTION SLR can be used for treating patients with narrowing of the heart arteries without leaving behind a permanent metal stent. The device is a balloon that opens up narrowing in blood vessels. The unique feature of the balloon is that the surface of the balloon is coated with a drug called sirolimus, which is released over time. Sirolimus is used to prevent thickening of the blood vessel wall, in addition to preventing the blood vessel from narrowing again after it has been opened by the balloon.
