NCT00484315

Brief Summary

The purpose of the TAXUS PERSEUS Workhorse trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the next-generation Boston Scientific TAXUS paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system (TAXUS® ElementTM) for the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions of up to 28 mm in length in native coronary arteries of 2.75 mm to 4.0 mm diameter.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Target Lesion Failure (TLF) at 12 Months Post-index Procedure. TLF is Defined as Any Ischemia-driven Revascularization of the Target Lesion, Myocardial Infarction (Q-wave and Non-Q-wave), or Death Related to the Target Vessel.

    The number of participants who experience a TLF through 365 days post-procedure out of the participants who have either had a TLF within 365 days post-procedure or who were TLF-free with last follow-up at least 335 days post-procedure.

    12 months post-index procedure

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • In-segment Percent Diameter Stenosis at 9 Months Post-index Procedure

    9 months post-index procedure

Study Arms (2)

TAXUS Element

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with paclitaxel-eluting stent (TAXUS Element) implantation

TAXUS Express

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Device: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with paclitaxel-eluting stent (TAXUS Express) placement

  • Previous treatment with intravascular brachytherapy in the target vessel
  • Planned PCI or CABG post-index procedure
  • 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

Limitations and Caveats

The comparator control for PERSEUS Workhorse study was chosen based on commercially available stent (TAXUS Express) at the time of study enrollment. Thus, the comparator group does not represent the most recently available paclitaxel-eluting stent.
