Achievement of a final in-stent residual diameter stenosis of <50% (by QCA) using any percutaneous method

Achievement of a final in-stent residual diameter stenosis of <50% (by QCA) using the assigned device (including any adjunctive devices) without cardiac death, Myocardial infarction (MI) or repeat revascularization of the target lesion pre-hospital discharge

Total mortality (cardiac and non-cardiac)

1. Q-wave MI (QWMI): requires one of the following criteria: the development of new abnormal Q waves in ≥2 contiguous ECG leads not present on the patient's baseline (i.e., before intervention) in association with a >2x upper limit normal elevation of creatine kinase (CK) levels. In the absence of ECG data, the clinical events committee may adjudicate a Q-wave MI based on the clinical scenario and appropriate cardiac enzyme data; chest pain or other acute symptoms consistent with myocardial ischemia and new pathological Q waves in ≥2 contiguous ECG leads in the absence of timely cardiac enzyme data.
2. Non-Q-wave MI (NQWMI): the elevation of CK levels (≥2 times ULN) with elevated CK-MB enzyme levels in the absence of new pathologic Q waves.

A revascularization is considered clinically driven if angiography at follow-up shows a percent diameter stenosis ≥ 50% (Angiographic Core Laboratory QCA assessment) and if one of the following occurs:

1. A positive history of recurrent angina pectoris, presumably related to the target vessel;
2. Objective signs of ischemia at rest (ECG changes) or during exercise test (or equivalent), presumably related to the target vessel;
3. Abnormal results of any invasive functional diagnostic test (e.g., Doppler flow velocity reserve, fractional flow reserve);
4. A target lesion revascularization (TLR) with a diameter stenosis ≥ 70% even in the absence of the above-mentioned ischemic signs or symptoms.
