Primary research questions
To investigate whether the clinical outcome following the randomized implantation of the Endeavor Resolute® versus XIENCE V® drug-eluting stent is similar, as assessed in a non-inferiority setting by comparing target-vessel failure (TVF) of both stents. We want to compare for both drug-eluting stents the combined endpoint of death, myocardial infarction or revascularization related to the target-vessel, as well as death or myocardial infarction that cannot be related to a significant flow obstruction in another vessel or to another cause. According to current literature, non-inferiority of Endeavor resolute ® and XIENCE V® is expected. But the non-inferiority of Endeavor resolute and XIENCE V® is not tested in a controlled randomized trial yet.
