Brief Summary
BIOFLOW-IV is a prospective, international, multicenter, randomised controlled trial. The purpose of this trial is to compare the Biotronik Orsiro drug eluting stent system with the Xience Prime / Xience Xpedition (Xience)drug eluting stent system in de novo coronary lesions. The study is powered for non-inferiority with respect to Target Vessel Failure(TVF)at 12 months.

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject must provide written informed consent
- The target reference vessel diameter (RVD) is ≥ 2.50 mm and ≤ 3.75 mm assessed either visually or by online QCA.
- Target lesion length is ≤ 26 mm (assessed either visual estimate or by online QCA) and can be covered by one study stent
- Single de novo lesion with ≥ 50% and \< 100% stenosis in up to 2 coronary arteries
You may not qualify if:
- Subject has evidence of myocardial infarction within 72 hours prior to the index procedure
- Planned intervention of non-target vessel(s) within 30 days after the index procedure
- Planned intervention of target vessel(s) after the index procedure
- Target lesion is located in the left main
- Target lesion is located in or supplied by an arterial or venous bypass graft
- Target lesion involves a side branch \> 2.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate or by online QCA
- Proximal or distal to the target lesion located stenosis that might require future revascularization or impede run off
