  • Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug study and has not completed the required follow-up period, or has completed all other study-required follow-up less than 30 days prior to enrollment in this study.
  • Patient is lactating, has a positive pregnancy test within 7 days of planned stent placement, or intends to become pregnant during the study (only applies to female patients of child-bearing potential).
  • Life expectancy of less than 24 months because of other medical conditions.
  • Co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study or comply with follow-up requirements or co-morbid condition(s) that could impact the scientific integrity of the study.
