The PLATINUM Clinical Trial to Assess the PROMUS Element Stent System for Treatment of De Novo Coronary Artery Lesions in Small Vessels

Exclusion Criteria

• •Patient has clinical symptoms and/or electrocardiogram (ECG) changes consistent with acute myocardial infarction (MI)
• •Patient has had a known diagnosis of recent MI (ie, within 72 hours prior to index procedure) and has elevated enzymes at time of index procedure as follows.
• •* Patients are excluded if any of the following criteria are met at time of the index procedure.
• •* If creatine kinase-myoglobin band (CK-MB) \>2× upper limit of normal (ULN), the patient is excluded regardless of CK Total.
• •* If CK-MB is 1-2× ULN, the patient is excluded if the CK Total is \>2× ULN.
• •* If CK Total/CK MB are not used and Troponin is, patients are excluded if the following criterion is met at time of index procedure.
• •* Troponin \>1× ULN with at least one of the following.
• •* Patient has ischemic symptoms and ECG changes indicative of ongoing ischemia (eg, \>1 mm ST segment elevation or depression in consecutive leads or new left bundle branch block \[LBBB\]);
• •* Development of pathological Q waves in the ECG; or
• •* Imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality.
• •Note: For patients with unstable angina or patients who have had a recent MI, CK Total/CK MB (or Troponin if CK Total/CK MB are not used) must be documented prior to enrolling/randomizing the patient.
• •Patient has received an organ transplant or is on a waiting list for an organ transplant
• •Patient is receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy within 30 days before or after index procedure
• •Patient is receiving oral or intravenous immunosuppressive therapy (ie, inhaled steroids are not excluded) or has known life-limiting immunosuppressive or autoimmune disease (eg, human immunodeficiency virus, systemic lupus erythematosus, but not including diabetes mellitus)
• •Patient is receiving chronic (\>=72 hours) anticoagulation therapy (eg, heparin, coumadin) for indications other than acute coronary syndrome
• •Patient has platelet count \<100,000 cells/mm3 or \>700,000 cells/mm3
• •Patient has white blood cell (WBC) count \<3,000 cells/mm3
• •Patient has documented or suspected liver disease, including laboratory evidence of hepatitis
• •Patient is on dialysis or has known renal insufficiency (ie, estimated creatinine clearance \<50 ml/min by the Cockcroft Gault formula, or \[(140-age)\*lean body weight (in kg)\]/\[plasma creatinine (mg/dl)\*72\])
• •Patient has history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions
• •Patient has had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within past 6 months, or has any permanent neurologic defect that may cause non-compliance with the protocol
• •Target vessel(s) or side branch has been treated with any type of PCI (eg, balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) within 12 months prior to index procedure
• •Target vessel(s) has been treated within 10 mm proximal or distal to target lesion (by visual estimate) with any type of PCI (eg, balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) at any time prior to index procedure
• •Non-target vessel or side branch has been treated with any type of PCI (eg, balloon angioplasty, stent, cutting balloon, atherectomy) within 24 hours prior to index procedure
• •Planned or actual target vessel(s) 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 index procedure
• •Patient previously treated at any time with coronary intravascular brachytherapy
• •Patient has a known allergy to the study stent system or protocol-required concomitant medications (eg, stainless steel, platinum, cobalt, chromium, nickel, tungsten, acrylic, fluoropolymers, everolimus, thienopyridines, aspirin, contrast) that cannot be adequately premedicated
• •Patient has active peptic ulcer or active gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding
• •Patient has one of the following.
• •* Other serious medical illness (eg, cancer, congestive heart failure) that may reduce life expectancy to less than 24 months
• •* Current problems with substance abuse (eg, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, etc.)
• •* Planned procedure that may cause non-compliance with protocol or confound data interpretation
• •Patient is participating in another investigational drug or device clinical trial that has not reached its primary endpoint
• •Patient intends to participate in another investigational drug or device clinical trial within 12 months after index procedure
• •Patient with known intention to procreate within 12 months after index procedure (Women of child-bearing potential who are sexually active must agree to use a reliable method of contraception from the time of screening through 12 months after the index procedure.)
• •Patient is a woman who is pregnant or nursing (A pregnancy test must be performed within 7 days prior to the index procedure in women of child-bearing potential)
• •Patient has more than 2 target lesions, or more than 1 target lesion and 1 non-target lesion, which will be treated during the index procedure
