Comparison of Strut Coverage With OPTIMAX Versus SYNERGY Stents

The purpose of this study is to compare vascular healing of the stented segment after deployment of titanium-nitride-oxide coated cobalt-chromium OPTIMAX™ bio-active stent (BAS) and SYNERGY™ everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients with acute coronary syndromes requiring percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients treated with BAS will be treated with DAPT for at least 4 weeks after the procedure followed by aspirin alone, while patients in the EES group will be treated with DAPT, at least for 6 months post procedure. In addition, this study will collect initial information about the safety and effectiveness of the BAS in comparison with EES group at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months.
