Official title: Evaluation of Effectiveness and Safety of the First, Second, and New Drug-Eluting Stents in Routine Clinical Practice
Run by CardioVascular Research Foundation, Korea · NCT01186133 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests how well a new type of heart stent works compared to older ones for patients with coronary artery disease who need a procedure to open blocked arteries.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with coronary disease that can be treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and who meet the study's inclusion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with terminal illnesses or those experiencing cardiogenic shock may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a new drug-eluting stent (DES) compared to earlier generations of DES in real-world clinical settings. It involves consecutive patients who receive the new DES without the use of other types of stents. The study focuses on patients with coronary artery disease who are eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). By analyzing outcomes in a routine clinical practice environment, the study seeks to provide insights into the performance of these stents.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in evaluating drug-eluting stents, but this specific comparison in routine practice may provide novel insights.
