Abstract
Background: New-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) may solve several problems encountered with first-generation DES, but there is a lack of prospective head-to-head comparisons between new-generation DES. In addition, the outcome of regulatory trials may not perfectly reflect the outcome in ‘real world’ patients.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of two new-generation DES in a ‘real world’ patient population.
Methods: A prospective, randomised, single-blinded clinical trial to evaluate clinical outcome after Endeavor Resolute vs. Xience V stent implantation. The primary endpoint is target vessel failure at one-year follow-up. In addition, the study comprises a two-year and an open-label five-year follow-up.
