Brief summary

The PROMUS Element clinical trial – PLATINUM, is a prospective, multi-centre trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PROMUS Element Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System compared with the PROMUS Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System. Treatment will be in participants with up to 2 de novo (new or untreated) atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions. A separate coronary artery (de novo) narrowing is able to be treated with a commercial treatment (eg: stent such as PROMUS, balloon angioplasty, excluding brachytherapy) during the initial procedure. Up to 160 sites enrolling up to 1,532 patients. Follow up at hospital clinics 30 days, 6 and 12 months. Participants enrolled who did not receive the PROMUS Element or the PROMUS stent will complete follow up at this point. The Primary Endpoint is Target Lesion Failure at 12 months defined as ischaemia-driven Target Lesion Revascularisation (repeat treatment of narrowing), Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) related to the target vessel, or Cardiac Death (participant death) related to the target vessel.

Interventions

The Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System (PROMUS Element) is a metal tube coated with the drug Everolimus. Up to two stents will be permanently implanted in the patient via use of a catheter inserted into the vasculature. The drug dosage depends on the size of the stent and varies from 57 micrograms (2.25x12mm stent) to 242 micrograms (4.0x38mm stent) and this drug is gradually eluted into the bloodstream following implantation of the stent. Stent size is selected by the investigator based o

Stent size is selected by the investigator based on vessel diameter and length. Typically stent diameter is selected to be slightly larger than the vessel diameter (ie a 3.0mm stent would be used to treat a 2.8mm vessel). Typically stent length is selected so that the stent is 2-4mm longer than the lesion length (ie a 28mm stent would be used to treat a 22mm lesion)
