Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental Stent	PROMUS Element™	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cardiac Events (Composite)	30 days	Percentage of patients who had a myocardial infarction, cardiac death, target lesion revascularization, or stent thrombosis (defined as definite or probable per the Academic Research Consortium \[ARC\] definitions); see below for definitions of individual components.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In-stent Late Loss	9 months	In-stent late loss by quantitative coronary angiography in workhorse target lesions (visual reference vessel diameter \[RVD\] ≥2.5 mm and ≤4.25 mm and visual lesion length ≤24 mm)
Occurance of Post-procedure Incomplete Stent Apposition	Post-procedure	Percentage of participants who experience incomplete stent apposition as determined immediately post-procedure by intravascular ultrasound
Myocardial Infarction (MI)	12 months	New Q-waves in ≥2 leads lasting ≥0.04 sec with creatine kinase myoglobin band(CK-MB) or troponin \>upper limit of normal(ULN); if no new Q-waves total CK levels \>3×ULN (peri-percutaneous coronary intervention \[PCI\]) or \>2×ULN (spontaneous) with elevated CK-MB or troponin \>3×ULN (peri-PCI) or \>2×ULN (spontaneous) plus ≥one of the following: ECG changes indicating new ischemia (new ST-T changes, left bundle branch block), imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium, new regional wall motion abnormality. Similar for MI diagnosis post coronary artery bypass graft with CK-MB or troponin \>5×ULN
All-cause Mortality	12 months
Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)	12 Months	Target lesion revascularization (TLR) is any ischemia-driven repeat percutaneous intervention to improve blood flow of the successfully treated target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel with a graft distally to the successfully treated target lesion.
Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)	12 months	Target vessel revascularization (TVR) is any ischemia-driven repeat percutaneous intervention to improve blood flow, or bypass surgery of not previously existing lesions with diameter stenosis ≥50% by quantitative coronary angiography in the target vessel, including the target lesion.
Target Lesion Failure (TLF)	12 months	Target lesion failure (TLF) is defined as any ischemia-driven revascularization of the target lesion, myocardial infarction (Q-wave and non-Q-wave) related to the target vessel, or cardiac death related to the target vessel.
Target Vessel Failure (TVF)	12 months	Target vessel failure (TVF) is defined as any ischemia-driven revascularization of the target vessel, myocardial infarction (MI, Q-wave and non-Q-wave) related to the target vessel or death related to the target vessel. For the purposes of this protocol, if it cannot be determined with certainty whether the MI or death was related to the target vessel, it will be considered a TVF.
Definite + Probable Stent Thrombosis Based on Academic Research Consortium (ARC) Definition	>30 days-1 year	DEFINITE ST: acute coronary syndrome and angiographic or pathologic evidence of stent thrombosis; PROBABLE ST: unexplained death within 30 days or target-vessel infarction without angiographic information ARC ST is reported as a cumulative value at different time points and within the different separate time points. Time 0 is the time point after the guide catheter has been removed. Acute ST: 0-24 hours after stent implantation; Subacute ST: \>24 hours to 30 days post; late ST: \>30 days to 1 year post; Very late ST: \>1 year post; NOTE: Acute/subacute can be replaced by early ST (0-30 days).
Clinical Procedural Success	Duration of hospital stay (usually 1-2 days)	Mean lesion diameter stenosis \< 30% with TIMI 3 flow without the occurrence of in-hospital cardiac death, MI, or TVR
Technical Success	Acute-At time of index procedure	Successful delivery and deployment of the study stent to the target lesion, without balloon rupture or embolization, summarized per stent.
