NCT ID:
NCT01776567
Brief Summary:
The purpose of the trial is to directly compare the Cobalt Chromium platform everolimus-eluting stent, Xience Prime™, with the Platinum Chromium platform everolimus-eluting stent, Promus Element™, in relation to stent scaffolding shape, position with the heart blood vessel and extent of tissue coverage (at 6 months) using optical coherence tomography.
Hypotheses:
1. The alloy composition and strut design of a drug-eluting stent has a direct bearing on stent apposition measured using OCT.
2. Stent design and alloy composition have a direct influence on radial support and scaffold shrinkage.
