Brief summary

Purpose The TARGET All comers trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, two-arm, non-inferiority, open-label study with 1656 patients at 20 centers in Europe. The study is a real world, all comers study.

Detailed description

Primary objective: to compare the MicroPort Medical (Group) Co., Ltd Firehawk™cobalt chromium coronary stent ( rapamycin target eluting ) system with abluminal grooves containing a biodegradable polymer with the Abbott XIENCE family EES (Everolimus-Eluting stent) system with respect to cardiac death, myocardial infarction (not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel), Target Lesion Revascularization at 1 year in a real world patient population.
