Phase:

PHASE2

PHASE3

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System in long lesion lengths, small and large vessel di...

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint is the incidence rate of TVR through 9 months post index procedure. In this protocol, TVR must be ischemia driven, based on the presence of symptoms, positive functional testing o...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient was ≥ 18 years old.
  • Eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention.
  • Documented stable angina pectoris.
  • LVEF of greater than 25%.
  • Acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting.
  • Target lesion segment is located within a single native coronary vessel.
  • Target lesion was de novo.
  • RVD was greater than 2.25 mm and less than 4.0 mm .and patient and/or lesion fulfilled protocol defined subgroups.
  • Cumulative target lesion length was greater than 10 mm and less than 46mm assessed after pre-dilatation with standard balloon or cutting balloon angioplasty, including adjacent areas of dissection that were covered.
  • Target lesion diameter stenosis less than 50% before pre-dilatation .
  • Vessel and lesion morphology such that the lesion was treated only with study stent(s); no planned use of commercial stents.

Exclusion

  • Known hypersensitivity to paclitaxel.
  • Any previous or planned treatment with a non-study anti-restenotic drug-coated or drug-eluting coronary stent.
  • Planned use of both the study stent and a non-study stent in the treatment of the target vessel.
  • Previous or planned treatment with intravascular brachytherapy in the target vessel.
  • Recent MI.
  • CK-MB greater than 2x the local laboratory's upper limit of normal.
  • Cerebrovascular accident within 6 months of randomization.
  • Planned CABG ≤ 9 months post index procedure.
  • Acute or chronic renal dysfunction.
  • Leukopenia.
  • Thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis.
  • Active peptic ulcer or active gastrointestinal bleeding, or previously active within 6 months.
  • Known allergy to stainless steel.
  • Any prior true anaphylactic reaction to contrast agents.
  • Contraindication to ASA or to both clopidogrel and ticlopidine.
  • Patient was on warfarin or it was anticipated that treatment with warfarin would have been required during any period within 6 months post the index procedure.
  • Patient was or had been treated with chemotherapeutic agents within 12 months of the index procedure.
  • Anticipated treatment with paclitaxel, oral rapamycin or colchicine during any period in the 9 months post index procedure.
  • Male or female with known intention to procreate within 3 months post index procedure.
  • Co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, limit compliance with follow-up requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
  • Planned surgical procedure requiring withdrawal of any anti-platelet therapy within 6 months post index procedure.
  • Currently participating in another investigational drug or device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the endpoints of this study.
  • Unprotected left main coronary artery disease.
  • Target lesion was ostial in location.
  • Target lesion and/or target vessel proximal to the target lesion was moderately or severely calcified.
  • Target lesion was located within or distal to a \> 60° bend in the vessel.
  • Side branch of the target lesion included ostial narrowing ≥ 50% DS and was ≥ 2.0 mm diameter.
  • Target lesion was totally occluded.
  • Angiographic presence of probable or definite thrombus.
