The OMEGA Clinical Trial

Exclusion Criteria

• •Subject is on dialysis or has known renal insufficiency (e.g. serum creatinine level \>2.0 mg/dL).
• •Subject has active peptic ulcer disease, an active gastrointestinal (GI) bleed, other bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse transfusions.
• •Subject has had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 6 months, or has any permanent neurologic defect that may cause non-compliance with the protocol.
• •Target vessel (including side branches) has been treated with any type of PCI (e.g., balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) within 12 months prior to the index procedure.
• •Target vessel has been treated within 10 mm proximal or distal to the target lesion (by visual estimate) with any type of PCI (e.g., balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, or atherectomy) at any time prior to the index procedure.
• •Non-target vessel or side branch has been treated with any type of PCI (e.g., balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) within 1 day prior to the index procedure.
• •Note: 1 lesion in a non-target vessel may be treated during the index procedure prior to the treatment of the target (study) lesion.
• •Planned or actual target vessel treatment with an unapproved device, directional or rotational coronary atherectomy, laser, cutting balloon, or transluminal extraction catheter immediately prior to stent placement.
• •Planned PCI or CABG after the index procedure.
• •Subject previously treated at any time with coronary intravascular brachytherapy.
• •Subject has known allergy to the study stent system or protocol-required concomitant medications (e.g., stainless steel, platinum, chromium, nickel, iron, thienopyridines and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)) and contrast (that cannot be adequately premedicated).
• •Subject has any other serious medical illness (e.g., cancer, congestive heart failure) that may reduce life expectancy to less than 12 months.
• •Subject has current problems with substance abuse (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, heroin, etc.).
• •Subject has a planned procedure that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound data interpretation.
• •Subject is participating in another investigational drug or device clinical trial that has not reached its primary endpoint or intends to participate in another investigational drug or device clinical trial within 12 months after the index procedure.
• •Subject is female of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test within 14 days before the index procedure, is lactating, or intends to become pregnant during the study.
• •Subject has more than 1 target lesion, or more than 1 target lesion and 1 non-target lesion, which will be treated during the index procedure.
• •Target lesion meets any of the following criteria:
• •* Aorto-ostial location (i.e., lesion located within 5 mm of the ostium by visual estimate)
• •* Left main location
• •* Located within 5 mm of the origin of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery or left circumflex (LCX) coronary artery or Right Coronary Artery (RCA) by visual estimate
• •* Located within a saphenous vein graft or an arterial graft
• •* Will be accessed via a saphenous vein graft or an arterial graft
• •* Involves a side branch ≥2.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate
• •* Involves a side branch \<2.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate that has a clinically significant stenosis at the ostium
• •* TIMI flow 0 (total occlusion) or TIMI flow 1 prior to guide wire crossing
• •* Excessive tortuosity proximal to or within the lesion
• •* Extreme angulation proximal to or within the lesion
• •* Target lesion and/or target vessel proximal to the target lesion is moderately to severely calcified by visual estimate
• •* Restenotic from previous intervention
• •* Thrombus, or possible thrombus, present in the target vessel
• •* Target lesion cannot be covered by a single study stent (unplanned bailout stenting is allowed)
• •Non-target lesion to be treated during the index procedure meets any of the following criteria:
• •* Located within the target vessel
• •* Located within a bypass graft (venous or arterial)
• •* Left main location
• •* Chronic total occlusion
• •* Involves a complex bifurcation (e.g., bifurcations requiring treatment with more than 1 stent)
• •* Requires additional unplanned stents (treatment of the non-target lesion with more than one stent is permitted as long as the stents are initially planned)
• •* Treatment not deemed a clinical angiographic success
• •* Treatment not completed prior to treatment of target lesion
• •Subject has unprotected left main coronary artery disease (\>50% diameter stenosis).
• •Subject has protected left main coronary artery disease and a target lesion in the LAD or LCX.
• •Subject has an additional clinically significant lesion(s) in the target vessel for which an intervention within 12 months after the index procedure may be required.
