Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The IDEAL TM Coronary Stent is a biodegradable, drug eluting coronary stent that is implanted through a small incision in the groin area using standard interventional technique (as is done for the placement of any coronary stent) for minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures. Patients who present with a lesion amenable to stent placement and meet the protocol's eligibility criteria may be enrolled and undergo placement of one IDEAL stent.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4454 0
The primary endpoint is ischemia-driven Target Lesion Failure. Target Lesion Failure is when the lesion requires repeat treatment or results in a myocardial infarction (MI). Ischemia driven means that the repeat intervention is the result of known ischemia. This data will be extracted from the master study database using a statistical analysis software (SAS) or similar and analyzed by a qualified statistician.
Timepoint [1] 4454 0
Target Lesion Failure to 6 months post implant.
Secondary outcome [1] 7524 0
Ischemia-driven Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) measured by
Ischemia-driven Target Vessel Failure (TVF)
ID-Target Lesion Revascularization (ID-TLR) and ID-Target Vessel Revascularization (ID-TVR)
Acute success (device and clinical procedure )
Stent thrombosis (Definite or probable per the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definition )
Timepoint [1] 7524 0
This outcome will be assessed at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months.
