At least more than or equals to 1 de novo lesions in a native coronary segment with a visually estimated diameter stenosis between more than or equals to 40 per cent and less than 90 per cent

Patient has documented ACS ( unstable angina, NSTEMI or STEMI within the previous 72 hours)

Patient demonstrates a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of more than or equals to 40 per cent as measured prior to enrollment

Patient understands and agrees to comply with all specified study requirements and provides written Informed Consent to this effect

Exclusion Criteria

Patient exhibits cardiogenic shock (systolic pressure less than 80mm Hg and PCWP more than 20mm Hg or cardiac index less than 1.8 liters per minute per meter square or intra-aortic balloon pump or intravenous inotropes are needed to maintain a systolic pressure more than 80 mm Hg) for any time within 24 hours prior to index procedure.

Patient demonstrates evidence of acute or chronic renal dysfunction (serum creatinine more than 2.0 mg per dl or 177 μmol per l)

Planned cardiac surgery procedure less than or equals to 6 months post-index procedure.

Patient that in the opinion of the investigator is not clinically appropriate for OCT evaluation

Patient in whom the primary culprit lesion requiring PCI have one of the following characteristics â??

vessel is moderately or severely calcified, by visual estimate

lesion is ostial in location (within 5.0 mm of vessel origin)

lesion involving arterial segments with highly tortuous anatomy or where lesion is located within or distal to a more than 60 degree bend in the vessel.

lesion involves a diseased (more than 50 per cent stenotic) side branch more than 2.0 mm in diameter

lesion is located in the left main coronary artery, whether protected or unprotected

arterial or saphenous vein graft lesions or lesions distal to a diseased arterial or saphenous vein graft
