Brief summary

EVOLVE 48 is a prospective, open label, single arm, multi-center trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the FDA requirement for safety and effectiveness of the SYNERGY 48 mm Coronary Stent System for the treatment of subjects with atherosclerotic lesion(s) \> 34 mm and ≤ 44 mm in length (by visual estimate) in native coronary arteries ≥2.5 mm to ≤4.0 mm in diameter (by visual estimate).

Inclusion criteria

Clinical Inclusion Criteria * Subject must be at least 18 years of age * Subject (or legal guardian) understands the trial requirements and the treatment procedures and provides written informed consent before any trial-specific tests or procedures are performed * Subject is eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) * Subject has either: * Symptomatic coronary artery disease with one of the following: stenosis ≥ 70%, abnormal fractional flow reserve (FFR), abnormal stress or imaging stress test, or elevated biomarkers prior to the procedure * OR * Documented silent ischemia based on one of the following: abnormal fractional flow reserve (FFR), abnormal stress or imaging stress test, or elevated biomarkers prior to the procedure * Subject is willing to comply with all protocol-required follow-up evaluation Angiographic Inclusion Criteria (visual estimate) * Target lesion must be located in a native coronary artery with a visually estimated reference vessel diameter (RVD) ≥2.5 mm and ≤4.0 mm * Target lesion length must be \>34 mm and ≤44 mm (by visual estimate) * Target lesion must have visually estimated stenosis ≥50% and \<100% with thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow \>1 * Coronary anatomy is likely to allow delivery of a study device to the target lesion * The target lesion must be successfully predilated/pretreated. If a non-target lesion is treated, it should be treated first and should be deemed an angiographic success Note: Angiographic success is a mean lesion diameter stenosis \< 50% (\< 30% for stents) in 2 near-orthogonal projections with TIMI 3 flow, as visually assessed by the physician, without the occurrence of prolonged chest pain or ECG changes consistent with MI. Note: Successful predilatation/pretreatment refers to dilatation with a balloon catheter of appropriate length and diameter, or pretreatment with directional or rotational coronary atherectomy, laser or cutting/scoring balloon with no greater than 50% residual stenosis and no dissection greater than National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute (NHLBI) type C.
