Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Angina Pectoris
Myocardial Infarction
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Device: Biolimus eluting bioresorbable polymer stent
Device: Everolimus eluting bioresorbable polymer stent
Registration Number
NCT02253108
Lead Sponsor
Aarhus University Hospital Skejby
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare early vessel healing after implantation of SYNERGY drug eluting stent (DES) or BioMatrix NeoFlex DES at one and three months in two cohorts.

Detailed Description

Prospective, open label, single blind, randomized study with inclusion of 160 patients in two equal sized cohorts (A and B). Angiographic follow-up with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is performed at 1 month (Cohort A) and 3 months (Cohort B). Randomization 1:1 to SYNERGY or BioMatrix Neoflex. The Cohorts are included consecutively, Cohort A first.
