Randomized Trial Comparing Titan Stent With Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent

Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing A Titanium-Nitride-Oxide Coated Stent With A Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

A Randomized Comparison of a Titanium-Nitride-Oxide Coated Stent (Helistent Titan2, Hexacath) With a Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent (EndeavorTm, Medtronic) for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to compare the Titanium-Nitride-Oxide Coated Stent (Helistent Titan2, Hexacath) with a Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent (EndeavorTm, Medtronic) in a non-inferiority trial. Design: Prospective, multi-center, randomized, non-inferiority trial to be conducted at 3 Swiss interventional cardiology centers. Patients will be randomized in a single-blind fashion (1:1 randomization) to either the Titanium-Nitride-Oxide Coated Stent (Helistent Titan2, Hexacath) or the Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent (EndeavorTm, Medtronic). Study Population: Patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease including patients with chronic stable angina, silent ischemia, unstable angina, and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, who qualify for percutaneous coronary interventions Antiplatelet Therapy: Aspirin 100 mg qd indefinitely; Clopidogrel 75 mg qd for 3 months Enrollment: A total of 300 patients will be enrolled All patients will undergo repeat angiography at 6-8 months. All patients will be followed for up to 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria: The following patients are eligible for inclusion Age ≥18 years Symptomatic coronary artery disease including patients with chronic stable angina, silent ischemia, unstable angina, and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction Presence of one or more coronary artery stenoses >50% in a native coronary artery from 2.25 to 4.0 mm in diameter that can be covered with one or multiple stents; No limitation on the number of treated lesions, and vessels, and lesion length Exclusion Criteria: Pregnancy Known intolerance to aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, stainless steel, titan, zotarolimus or contrast material Inability to provide informed consent Currently participating in another trial before reaching first endpoint ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
