The SOURT OUT IV TRIAL (SORT OUT IV)

Randomized Clinical Comparison of the Xience V and the Cypher Coronary Stents in Non-selected Patients With Coronary Heart Disease

In a randomized study the Xience V coroary artery stent may be non inferior to the Cypher Select+ coronary stents in the treatment of unselected patients with coronary artery disease.

2 Purpose In a randomized study to compare the Cypher Select+ and the Xience V coronary stents in the treatment of unselected patients with coronary artery disease. 2.1 Primary objective In a randomized study to compare the Xience V and the Cypher Select+ coronary stents by assessing SAFETY (cardiac death, myocardial infarction and/or stent thrombosis) and EFFICACY (target vessel revascularization) after 9 months. 2.2 Secondary objective To compare device success rate, procedure success rate and complication rate during hospitalization, after 1 month and after 9 months and the incidence of late stent thrombosis after 12, 24 and 36 months.

SAFETY (cardiac death, myocardial infarction and/or stent thrombosis) EFFICACY (target vessel revascularization)

Inclusion Criteria: All patients treated with one or more drug eluting stents in the coronary arteries at one of the 5 heart centres in Denmark (Gentofte, Rigshospitalet, Odense, Skejby, Aalborg) can be included in the study. Exclusion Criteria: The patient will not participate The patient participates in other randomised stent studies Expected survival < 1 year Allergy to Aspirin, Clopidogrel or Ticlopidine Allergy to Sirolimus or ABT-578
