Brief summary

This study is being performed to evaluate the safety and performance of the IDEAL Stent for the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Interventions

The IDEAL TM Coronary Stent is a biodegradable, drug eluting coronary stent that is implanted through a small incision in the groin area using standard interventional technique (as is done for the placement of any coronary stent) for minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures. Patients who present with a lesion amenable to stent placement and meet the protocol's eligibility criteria may be enrolled and undergo placement of one IDEAL stent.
