PAX B Clinical Trial - Trial ID: MIN0802

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Amazonia PAX® Drug Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of single de novo lesions in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter of 2.5-3.5 mm.

The PAX B clinical trial is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, European clinical trial evaluating the investigational device Amazonia PAX® in patients with reference vessel diameters (RVD) sup.equ 2.5 mm and inf.equ 3.5 mm and lesion lengths inf.equ 20 mm. The trial allows the treatment of single, de novo lesions in native coronary arteries. Stents should cover beyond the lesion proximally and distally with 3 mm (visual appreciation).
The PAX B clinical trial will enroll 100 patients. Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) measurements will be made after stent implantation, and repeated at 9 months follow-up.
1. Angiographic in-stent Late Lumen Loss (LLL) at 9 months post-procedure.
1. Clinically-driven Target Vessel Failure (TVF), Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR) and Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR) at 9 months post-procedure.
2. Acute success (device, lesion, and procedure).
3. Angiographic Binary Restenosis (ABR) rate and Minimum Luminal Diameter (MLD) at 9 months post-procedure.
4. Angiographic parameters (in-stent and in-segment) including percent Diameter Stenosis (%DS) at 9 months post-procedure.
5. Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) rate at 30 days, 6 and 9 months post-procedure.
