Brief summary
For lesions which develop restenosis after a drug-eluting stent, it is not known which the right strategy to use is, implantation of the same type of DES as the initial one or a DES with a different drug.
Detailed description
Treatment of in-stent restenosis after implantation of a DES has poorly been studied. Although there are no data, it may be assumed that certain lesions might be resistant to a given drug and in need of a different DES. Thus, for lesions which develop restenosis after a DES, it is not known which the right strategy to use is, implantation of the same type of DES as the initial one or a DES with a different drug. This prospective, randomized trial will compare the anti-restenotic efficacy of PES or SES in patients with restenosis after initial implantation of a SES
Interventions
Sirolimus-eluting stent will be implanted
Paclitaxel-eluting stent will be implanted

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients older than age 18 with ischemic symptoms or evidence of myocardial ischemia in the presence of \> 50% re- stenosis after prior implantation of Sirolimus eluting stents in native coronary vessels * Written, informed consent by the patient or her/his legally-authorized representative for participation in the study * In women with childbearing potential a negative pregnancy test is mandatory
Exclusion criteria
* Cardiogenic shock * Acute myocardial infarction within the first 48 hours from symptom onset. * Target lesion located in the left main trunk or bypass graft. * Malignancies or other comorbid conditions (for example severe liver, renal and pancreatic disease) with life expectancy less than 12 months or that may result in protocol non-compliance. * Allergy to antiplatelet therapy, sirolimus, paclitaxel, stainless steel. * Pregnancy (present, suspected or planned) or positive pregnancy test. * Previous enrollment in this trial. * Patient's inability to fully comply with the study protocol.
