Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that a BioFreedom™ Drug Coated Stent is non-inferior to a bare metal stent at one year as measured by the composite safety endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and definite/probable stent thrombosis, and that its efficacy is superior to a bare metal stent as measured by clinically driven TLR at one year.

Study Arms (2)
BioFreedom™ Drug Coated Stent (DCS)
EXPERIMENTALBA9 drug coated stent implantation for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients with de novo lesions in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter between 2.25 mm and 4.0 mm.
Gazelle™ Bare Metal Coronary Stent (BMS)
ACTIVE COMPARATORGAZELLE™ bare metal stent implantation for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients with de novo lesions in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter between 2.25 and 4.0 mm.
Interventions
Biofreedom DCS implantation in high risk bleeding patients followed by 1 month DAPT
Gazelle BMS implantation in high risk bleeding patients followed by 1 month DAPT
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Any indication for PCI-S in patients deemed at high risk for bleeding and candidates for 1 month DAPT. This includes candidates with stable angina, silent ischemia, ACS (STEMI and non-STEMI), non-native lesions and in-stent restenosis. Patients must provide written informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy
- Patients expected not to comply with 1 month DAPT
- Patients requiring a planned staged PCI procedure more than one week after the index procedure
- Procedure planned to require non-study stents, or stand alone POBA or stand-alone atherectomy
- Reference vessel diameter \<2.25 - \>4.0mm
- Cardiogenic shock
- Compliance with long-term single anti-platelet therapy unlikely
- A known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, clopidogrel (or prasugrel, or ticagrelor if applicable), stainless steel, Biolimus A9 or a sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
- Participation in another clinical trial (12 months after index procedure).
