Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the TiN-coated MAR-Tyn stent in maintaining minimum lumen diameter in de novo native coronary artery lesions as compared t...

Detailed Description

Occlusive coronary artery disease is predominantly caused by coronary atherosclerosis, a pathologic vascular condition characterized by abnormal lipid and fibrous tissue accumulation in the vessel wal...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must meet ALL of the following criteria:
  • The patient must be \> 18 years of age;
  • Female of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of enrollment and utilize reliable birth control for eight months after enrollment
  • Diagnosis of angina pectoris as defined by Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification (CCS I, II, III, IV) OR unstable angina pectoris (Braunwald Classification B\&C, I-II) OR patients with documented silent ischemia;
  • Single treatment of de novo lesion in a major coronary artery in patients with single or multi-vessel disease; patients with multiple lesions can be included only if the other lesions do not require treatment;
  • Target vessel diameter at the lesion site is \>2.50mm and \<3.5mm in diameter (visual estimate);
  • Target lesion is \>10mm and \<22mm in length (visual estimate);
  • Target lesion stenosis is \>50% and \<100% (visual estimate);
  • At least TIMI II coronary flow;
  • Acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG);
  • Patient is willing to comply with the specified follow-up evaluation;
  • Patient must provide written informed consent prior to the procedure using a form that is approved by the local Ethics Committee.
  • Patient can be pre-treated with aspirin and clopidogrel or, alternatively, aspirin alone plus a loading dose of 300 mg of clopidogrel before procedure completion in case of urgent PCI

Exclusion

  • Patients will be excluded if ANY of the following conditions apply:
  • Patient has experienced a Q-wave or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction with documented total CK \>2 times normal within the preceding 24 hours and the CK and CK-MB enzymes remains above normal at the time of treatment;
  • Has unstable angina classified as Braunwald III B or C and A I-II-III, or is having a peri infarction;
  • Unprotected left main coronary disease with \>50% stenosis;
  • Significant (\>50%) stenosis proximal or distal to the target lesion that might require revascularization or impede runoff;
  • Have an ostial target lesion;
  • Have a target lesion in a venous graft;
  • Angiographic evidence of thrombus within target lesion;
  • Calcified lesion which cannot be successfully predilated;
  • Documented left ventricular ejection fraction \<=25%;
  • Totally occluded vessel (TIMI 0 level);
  • Impaired renal function (creatinine \> 3.0 mg/dl) at the time of treatment;
  • Pretreatment with devices other than balloon angioplasty;
  • Target lesion has excessive tortuousity or angulation (\> 45°) which makes it unsuitable for stent delivery and deployment;
  • Target lesion involves bifurcation including a diseased side branch \>=2 mm in diameter (either stenosis of both main vessel and major branch or stenosis of just major branch) that would require side branch stenting;
  • Prior stent within 5mm of target lesion;
  • Direct Stenting
  • Recipient of heart transplant;
  • Patient with a life expectancy less than 12 months;
  • Known allergies to the following: aspirin, clopidogrel bisulfate (Plavix) and ticlopidine (Ticlid), heparin, cobalt, chromium, or contrast agent (that cannot be managed medically)
  • Recent (6 months) cerebrovascular accidents or intracranial hemorrhage
  • Any significant medical condition which in the investigator's opinion may interfere with the patient's optimal participation in the study;
  • Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study;
  • Intervention of another lesion has occurred within 6 months before the index procedure;
  • In the investigator's opinion, the lesion is not suitable for stenting.
