Primary Outcome Measures:
- angiographic in-lesion late loss [ Time Frame: 6 months post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- in-stent mean percent diameter stenosis (%DS) [ Time Frame: 6-months post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- i-stent late loss (LL) [ Time Frame: 6 months post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- in-lesion binary restenosis [ Time Frame: 6-months post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) [ Time Frame: 9-months post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Target Vessel Failure (TVF) defined as any revascularization of the index vessel or myocardial infarction or death that cannot be clearly attributed to a vessel other than the index vessel [ Time Frame: 9 months post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Composite of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) defined as death, myocardial infarction (Q wave and non-Q wave), emergent bypass surgery, or repeat target lesion revascularization in-hospital [ Time Frame: 1, 6, 9 months and, 2 and 3 years post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- occurrence of bleeding [ Time Frame: 1, 6, 9 months and, 2 and 3 years post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
This is a multicenter (11 sites), non-randomized study. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be treated with the Cypher™ sirolimus-eluting stent. All patients will have a repeat angiography at six months post-procedure and will be additionally followed clinically at 1, 6 and 9 months and up to 3 years. The results of this study will be compared with the outcome of the GAMMA I / II as the historical control.
