ENDEAVOR III: A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Medtronic Endeavor Drug (ABT-578) Eluting Coronary Stent System versus the Cypher Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions
Primary Investigator:
Angelo Ferraro, MD & Michael Ring, MD
Description:
This study examines the safety and effectiveness of two different drug-eluting stents (ENDEAVOR and CYPHER stents) in patients with symptomatic heart disease. Participants will have single, untreated blockage(s) in one of their heart arteries as determined by coronary angiography. They will be randomized to receive either the ENDEAVOR stent (coated with ABT-578) or the CYPHER stent (coated with sirolimus). Participants will be followed for 5 years.
