OCT Evaluation of Stent Struts Re-endothelization in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes: a Comparison of the Intrepide™ Stent vs. Taxus™

- Enrollment
- 40
- Locations

- Primary Endpoint
- To compare stent re-endothelialization using Trapidil drug eluting stent versus Taxus paclitaxel eluting stent at 3 months after intervention. The primary endpoint will be defined by % of stent struts neointimal coverage at 90 days
Study Overview
Brief Summary
Patients presenting with ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) in the emergency department will be screened for clinical eligibility and asked to sign informed consent to the study.
A total of 40 patients will be randomized. 20 of them will receive a Trapidil eluting stent (Intrepide™ stent), 20 will receive a Paclitaxel eluting stent (Taxus™ stent). After 90 days the patients who were treated with the INTREPIDE stent in the first lesion will be treated with the Taxus stent in the second lesion. After 90 days the patients who were treated with the Taxus stent in the first lesion will be treated with the INTREPIDE stent in the second lesion.
Coronary angiography will be performed through the femoral (groin) or radial (wrist) artery with the use of standard techniques. The doctor will determine if the patient is qualified for enrolment at the end of the diagnostic coronary angiogram

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To compare stent re-endothelialization using Trapidil drug eluting stent versus Taxus paclitaxel eluting stent at 3 months after intervention. The primary endpoint will be defined by % of stent struts neointimal coverage at 90 days
Time Frame: 3 months
Secondary Outcomes
- In-stent binary angiographic restenosis and in-stent late lumen loss; in segment late loss; assessed by quantitative computed angiography (QCA) at 12 months(12 months)
