Brief summary
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity but there are further demands on DES performance. Such demands are an optimized performance in very challenging coronary lesions; third generation DES were developed in an effort to further improve DES performance in such challenging lesions. Two CE-certified third generation DES (Resolute Integrity and Promus Element stents) are currently available; there are no data that indicate an advantage of one of these DES over the other.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Minimum age of 18 years; * Coronary artery disease and lesion(s) eligible for treatment with drug eluting stents according to clinical guidelines and/or the operators' judgement; * Patient is willing and able to cooperate with study procedures and required follow-up visits; and patient has been informed and agrees on the participation by signing an EC approved written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
* Participation in another randomized drug or device study before reaching primary endpoint; * Planned surgery within 6 months of PCI unless dual antiplatelet therapy is maintained throughout the peri-surgical period; * Intolerance to a P2Y12 receptor antagonist that results in the patient's inability to adhere to dual-antiplatelet therapy, or intolerance to aspirin, heparin, or components of the two DES examined; * Known pregnancy; * Life expectancy of less than 1 year.
