Conditions

Coronary Artery Disease

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate new generation drug eluting stent (DES) of MicroPort of its safety, efficacy and delivery system in treating CAD.

Detailed description

The primary endpoint is in-stent late lumen loss after 9 months of the stent implantation. The secondary endpoint is in-stent percent diameter stenosis.This study is based on non-inferior assumption (vs. Xience V), requiring both endpoints reach statistical significance. Prespecified OCT follow-up is planned at 3-Year after index procedure at 3 chosen hospitals.

Outcome results

Primary

9 Months In-stent Late Lumen Loss

To observe in-stent late lumen loss after 9 months of stent implantation It means the difference between the minimal lumen diameter immediately after stent implantation and the minimal lumen diameter by angiography review 9 months after the procedure

Time frame: 9 months

Population: Angiographic follow-up at nine months was completed in 87.6% (199/227) of the Firehawk DES group and 87.4% (202/231) of the Xience V DES group.

Comparison: H0: Pe - Pc≥ ∆, H1: Pe - Pc \< ∆. Pe and Pc are the mean 9-month in-stent late loss for the subject in the Firehawk DES group and the Xience group, respectively. ∆ is the non-inferiority margin. A two-sided upper 95% confidence bound will be calculated for the difference in 9-month in-stent late loss .p-value: 0.9495% CI: [0, 0.29]ANCOVA
