Brief summary

A prospective, randomized, active-control, multi-center clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of the Svelte Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent Integrated Delivery System (IDS) to that of the commercially available Resolute IntegrityTM Drug-Eluting Stent. The study objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Svelte Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent Integrated Delivery System (IDS) compared to the Resolute IntegrityTM Drug-Eluting Stent in patients with single, never previously treated coronary artery lesions

Inclusion criteria

General Inclusion Criteria 1. Patient is ≥18 years old; 2. Patient is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); 3. Patient is an acceptable candidate for emergent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery; 4. Patient has clinical evidence of ischemic heart disease, stable or unstable angina, silent ischemia, or a positive functional study; 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7-days before the trial procedure; 6. Patient or subject's legal representative has been informed of the nature of the trial and agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Hospital Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of the respective investigational site; and 7. Patient agrees to comply with specified follow-up evaluations and to return to the same investigational site where the procedure was performed. Angiographic Inclusion Criteria 1. Patient has either a single target lesion, or two lesions (target and non-target) located in separate coronary arteries; 2. If a non-target lesion is treated, it must be treated first and only with commercially available PTCA balloons and/or stents. Post PCI of the non-target vessel, all of the following conditions must be met: 1. Residual diameter stenosis \< 30%; 2. Absence of any angiographic complications; 3. Absence of ischemic symptoms; and 4. Absence of significant new arrhythmia or ECG monitoring changes suggestive of ischemia. 3. Reference vessel ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 3.5 mm in diameter by visual estimate; 4. Target lesion \< 20 mm in length by visual estimate (the intention is to cover the entire lesion with one stent of adequate length); and 5. Target lesion stenosis ≥ 50% and \< 100% by visual estimate.
