This is a clinical evaluation of the XIENCE V® everolimus eluting coronary stent system as a revascularization treatment of patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease (MVD-CAD).~The long term safety and efficacy of the XIENCE V EECSS have been demonstrated in the SPIRIT FIRST trial up to 5 years, the SPIRIT II trial up to 4 years, and in the SPIRIT III Randomized Control Trial (RCT) up to 3 years. In addition, these pre-approval studies have shown low rates of Target Vessel Failure and Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) that were consistently lower than the comparator arm of each study.~The post approval EXECUTIVE study demonstrated that the use of the XIENCE EECSS in complex lesions in a real-world population resulted in 1 year MACE, Stent Thrombosis and Target Lesion Revascularization rates that are comparable to those of the previously mentioned pre-approval studies which included patients with more restricted inclusion / exclusion criteria.~Therefore, based on existing data from these trials, Abbott Vascular has decided to discontinue further follow up in the EXECUTIVE trial.~The study is composed of two parts:~A Registry, outlined in a separate posting and the Randomized Control Trial (RCT) portion of this study, which is as follows:~-A randomized group of patients aimed at assessing the angiographic efficacy of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® EECSS) compared to the TAXUS® Liberté™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System.
The purpose of this two part study is the assessment of the performance of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® EECSS) in the treatment of the specific setting of patients with Multi-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease (MVD).
