Clinical Device Success (Per-lesion)
Successful delivery and deployment of the study stent (in overlapping stent setting a successful delivery and deployment of the first and second study stent) at the intended target lesion and successful withdrawal of the stent delivery system with attainment of final residual stenosis of less than 50% of the target lesion by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) (by visual estimation if QCA unavailable), without use of a device outside the assigned treatment strategy.
Clinical Procedure Success (Per-patient)
Successful delivery and deployment of the study stent or stents at the intended target lesion and successful withdrawal of the stent delivery system with attainment of final residual stenosis of less than 50% of the target lesion by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) (by visual estimation if QCA unavailable) and/or using any adjunctive device without the occurrence of cardiac death, MI attributed to the target vessel and/or CI-TLR during the hospital stay with a maximum of first seven days post index procedure. In multiple lesion setting each lesion must meet clinical procedure success.

In-stent Percent Diameter Stenosis (% DS)
This number represents the average of percent diameter stenosis found on examination of all the lesions analyzed.
This value calculated as 100 * (1 - minimum lumen diameter/reference vessel diameter) (MLD/RVD) using the mean values from two orthogonal views (when possible) by QCA.
In-segment Percent Diameter Stenosis (% DS)
This number represents the average of percent diameter stenosis found on examination of all the lesions analyzed.
This value calculated as 100 * (1 - MLD/RVD) using the mean values from two orthogonal views (when possible) by QCA.
Adjudicated Stent Thrombosis (Confirmed/Definite, Probable, Possible)
The Clinical Event Committee will adjudicate the events according to the definitions developed by the Academic Research Consortium (ARC), as published in Circulation (Cutlip, D.E., et al., Clinical End Points in Coronary Stent Trials: A Case for Standardized Definitions. Circulation, 2007. 115: p. 2344-2351.)
Stent thrombosis was defined according to the ARC guidelines as follows: definite: acute coronary syndrome and angiographic or pathological confirmation of stent thrombosis; probable: unexplained death ≤30 days or any MI that is related to acute ischemia in the territory of the implanted stent without angiographic confirmation of stent thrombosis; and possible: unexplained death >30 days after stent placement.

Adjudicated Revascularizations (Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)/ Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)/Any Revascularization) Both Clinically-indicated and Not Clinically-indicated.
TLR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion. The target lesion was defined as the treated segment from 5 mm proximal and 5 mm distal to the stent.
TVR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention or surgical bypass of any segment of the target vessel. The target vessel was defined as the entire major coronary vessel proximal and distal to the target lesion, including upstream and downstream branches and the target lesion itself.
A revascularization is considered clinically indicated if angiography at follow-up shows a %DS ≥ 50% and if one of the following occurs: history of recurrent angina pectoris due to the target vessel; signs of ischemia at rest or during exercise test due to target vessel; abnormal results of any invasive diagnostic test; TLR or TVR with a % DS ≥ 70% even in the absence of the above mentioned ischemic signs.

Cardiac death: Any death due to proximate cardiac cause (eg, myocardial infarction, low-output failure, fatal arrhythmia), unwitnessed death and death of unknown cause, and all procedure related deaths, including those related to concomitant treatment, will be classified as cardiac death.
