Brief summary

The objective of this trial is to compare clinical outcomes between imaging-guided and QCA-guided strategy in patients with native coronary artery disease undergoing BRS implantation.

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that intravascular imaging-guided BRS implantation is superior to QCA-guided BRS implantation with respect to target lesion failure in patients with native coronary artery disease.

Interventions

DEVICEquantitative coronary angiography guided Bioresorbable scaffold implantation

In the QCA-guided group, BRS size and length were chosen by both visual estimation and on-line QCA, and adjunct high-pressure dilation is routinely performed to achieve angiographic residual diameter stenosis less than 30% by QCA and absence of angiographically visible dissections.

DEVICEimaging guided Bioresorbable scaffold implantation

In the imaging-guided group, imaging is used at any step of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) before, during, or after PCI. Final image examination after PCI is mandatory.
