randomized "all-comer" evaluation of a permanent polymer resolute integrity stent versus a polymer free cre8 stent

Conditions: Stable Angina Pectoris; Acute Coronary Syndrome

Summary: the study objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of the permanent polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent resolute integrity™ to the polymer free amphilimus-eluting stent cre8™ compared in an all-comer patient population. 1 month of dual antiplatelet duration will be applied in stable angina pectoris patients. myocardial infarction patient population will be treated with 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy.

a prospective, multi-center, open label, randomized controlled, two-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the permanent polymer zotarolimus eluting stent 'resolute integrity™' compared to polymer free amphilimus eluting stent 'cre8'. dual antiplatelet therapy duration of 1 month will be applied in stable angina pectoris patient population. myocardial infarction patient population will be treated with 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (dapt). one thousand five hundred thirty-two (1532) patients (1:1 randomization cre8 stent: resolute integrity™ stent) will be enrolled in the study, with clinical follow-up at 12 months to assess the primary end point. after a period of 12 months, a clinical registry will be implemented information will be collected at 3-years post procedure.
