Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Clinically stable patients undergoing a PCI for a coronary artery lesion with a low risk of restenosis are candidates for entry into this study. A target lesion is considered to be at a low risk of restenosis if all of the following apply: 1. A de novo lesion located in a native epicardial vessel with a Reference Vessel Diameter (RVD) greater than 2.8 mm by visual estimation; 2. A de novo lesion with a length of smaller than 20 mm by visual estimation; 3. A de novo lesion with a TIMI flow equal to or greater than 1; 4. The patient does not have diabetes mellitus
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Younger than 18 years of age; 2. A target lesion located in the left main coronary artery; 3. A chronic, totally occluded (CTO) target lesion; 4. A target lesion with involvement of a side branch, which is equal to or greater than 2.0 mm in diameter by visual estimation; 5. A restenotic target lesion; 6. A target lesion in an arterial or saphenous vein graft or distal to a diseased arterial or saphenous vein graft; 7. A target lesion(s) with an indication for treatment with a drug-eluting stent (DES). 8. Urgent need for revascularization; 9. ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) within the past six weeks; 10. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias within the past week; 11. A diabetic patient ; 12. Known renal insufficiency (e.g. serum creatinin level of more than 200 ìgram/L); 13. Platelet count of less than 100,000 cells/ mm3 or more than 700,000 cells/ mm3, a WBC of less than 3,000 cells/ mm3, or documented or suspected liver disease (including laboratory evidence of hepatitis); 14. History of a bleeding diathesis, or evidence of active abnormal bleeding within 30 days of randomization; 15. History of a hemorrhagic stroke at any time, or stroke or transient ischemic accident (TIA) of any etiology within 30 days of randomization; 16. Previous or scheduled chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 30 days prior or after the procedure; 17. On immune-suppression therapy or with known immunosuppressive or autoimmune disease (e.g. human immunodeficiency virus, systemic lupus erythematosus etc.) 18. Severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 100 mmHg, after treatment) 19. Contraindication for treatment with the Genous™ EPC capturing stent, such as previous administration of murine therapeutic antibodies and exhibition of sensitization through the production of Human Anti-Murine Antibodies (HAMA). 20. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin or clopidogrel; 21. Elective surgery, planned within the first 6 months after the procedure that requires discontinuing either aspirin or clopidogrel; 22. Previous heart transplant or any other organ transplant; 23. Previous participation in this study; 24. Circumstances that prevent follow-up (no permanent home or address, transient, etc.); 25. Women who are pregnant or who are of childbearing potential who do not use adequate contraception.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is target lesion failure within one year, defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (unless documented to arise from a non-treated coronary artery) and clinically driven repeat revascularization of the treated target lesion. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints are: 1. Procedural success, defined as a less than 20% residual stenosis by off-line QCA and TIMI 3 flow post PCI procedure of the treated vessel; 2. Target lesion revascularization within two, three, four, or five years; 3. Target lesion failure within two, three, four, or five years; 4. Target vessel revascularization within one, two, three, four, or five years; 5. Target vessel failure within one, two, three, four, or five years; 6. In-stent late loss within one year; 7. In-segment late loss within one year; 8. Stent thrombosis within one, two, three, four, or five years; 9. Hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome within one, two, three, four, or five years ; 10. Cardiac death or myocardial infarction within two, three, four, or five years | — |
