Summary description of the study

The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the bioresorbable Freesolve stent from BIOTRONIK in the treatment of patients with up to two stenoses of the coronary arteries, compared to the Abbott Xience stent, which is made of a permanent material. This is an international, multicenter clinical trial to compare the Freesolve stent with the Xience stent regarding the target lesion failure (TLF) rate at 12 months. TLF is a composite rate of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate. Patients will be randomly implanted either with the bioresorbable Freesolve stent (intervention group) or with the permanent Xience stent (control group) and will be followed up to 5 years after the intervention.

Intervention under investigation

The common name for the intervention is percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). During this procedure under local anesthesia, a catheter will be placed inside the groin or arm to access an artery. A bioresorbable Freesolve stent or a Xience stent will be implanted in the coronary artery requiring treatment. The correct positioning is monitored by angiography, and a balloon is inflated to open the prosthesis and press it against the vessel wall. Then, the deflated balloon is removed from the vessel, and the prosthesis remains in place. The procedure for implanting the bioresorbable Freesolve stent is the same as for the Xience stent. Depending on the usual treatment process of the study physician, the entire procedure will last between 30 and 60 minutes.
