Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds Versus Stents in Patients With Chronic Total Occlusion

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Registration Number
NCT02739685
Lead Sponsor
University of Luebeck
Brief Summary

The purpose of the current study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold to everolimus-eluting stents in patients with chronic total occlusion regarding the antirestenotic efficacy at 8 to 10-month angiographic follow-up.
