Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the BioMatrix Flex (Biolimus A9-Eluting) stent system with the Cypher SELECT (Sirolimus-Eluting) stent system in a non-inferiority trial.

Detailed description

Compare the safety and efficacy of the BioMatrix Flex (Biolimus A9-Eluting) stent system with the Cypher SELECT (Sirolimus-Eluting) stent system in a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in routine clinical practice.
