Brief summary: This is a prospective, open-label, multicentre, randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare the safety and performance of MeRes100 Sirolimus-eluting BioResorbable Vascular Scaffold System versus Contemporary drug-eluting stent platforms in patients with de novo coronary artery lesions at 60 investigational sites globally (including India).

Detailed description: This is a prospective, open-label, multicentre, randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare the safety and performance of MeRes100 Sirolimus-eluting BioResorbable Vascular Scaffold System versus Contemporary drug-eluting stent platforms in patients with de novo coronary artery lesions at 60 investigational sites globally (including India).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and performance of MeRes100 BRS in comparison with XIENCE family EES/Resolute ZES/Synergy EES/BioMime/Metafor/Proficient family SES in patients with de novo coronary artery lesions with reference vessel diameter of ≥2.75 mm to ≤4.0 mm and lesion length ≤34 mm.

The MeRes100™ BRS (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., India) is a novel thin-strut second-generation sirolimus-eluting poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)-based bioresorbable coronary scaffold is indicated for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to de novo lesion in native coronary arteries in patients eligible for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and scaffolding procedures.

After informed consent provided by the subject and confirmation of eligibility criteria and diagnostic angiography, subject will be randomized (2:1) to MeRes100 BRS or Contemporary DES using centralized web-based system.

Subject's Clinical/Telephonic Follow-up will be taken at \[Time Frame: 30 days (± 7 days) clinical follow-up, 6 month (± 28 days) clinical follow-up, 1 year (± 28 days) clinical follow-up, 2 years (± 28 days) telephonic follow-up, 3 years (± 28 days) clinical follow-up, 4 years (± 28 days) telephonic follow-up and 5 years (± 28 days) clinical follow-up\]

Eligibility criteria: General Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subject ≥18 years of age
2. Subject who has provided written informed consent
3. Subject must agree to undergo all clinical investigations and follow-up visits as per protocol

Questionnaire-based studies, or other studies that are non-invasive and do not require medication are allowed

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:

One de novo target lesion or up-to two de novo target lesions in different epicardial vessels: Different epicardial vessels are defined as left anterior descending artery (LAD) and its branches, left circumflex artery (LCX) arteries and its branches, and right coronary arteries (RCA) and its branches. Thus, for example, the subject must not have two target lesions required to be treated at the LAD and its branches at the same time
2. Each target lesion can be fully covered by one scaffold
3. Target lesion with angiographic evidence of ≥70% stenosis (by visual estimation) and ≥50% (by QCA estimation) with TIMI flow of ≥1. If the target lesion is \<70% stenosed, there must be an evidence of ischemia as per ECG or nuclear scan or fractional flow reserve (FFR)
4. Target lesion(s) located in native coronary artery with reference vessel diameter (RVD) of ≥2.75 mm to ≤4.0 mm and length ≤34 mm by QCA or by visual estimation

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, both heparin and bivalirudin, antiplatelet medication specified for use in the study (clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticlopidine inclusive), everolimus, sirolimus or its analog or derivative, poly (L-lactide), poly (DL-lactide), cobalt, PLGA \[poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide)\], chromium, nickel, tungsten, stainless steel, platinum, platinum-chromium alloy, iron, molybdenum, amorphous silicon carbide, acrylic and fluoropolymers or contrast sensitivity that cannot be adequately pre-medicated
