Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
General Inclusion Criteria

- Candidate for percutaneous coronary intervention & emergent coronary artery bypass
graft surgery

- Clinical evidence of ischemic heart disease or a positive functional study

- Female patients of childbearing potential has negative pregnancy test within 7 days
before trial procedure

- Patient or patient's legal representative provided written informed consent

- Patient agrees to comply with follow-up evaluations

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria

- Target lesion ia a single de novo bifurcation lesion involving a native coronary
artery with reference vessel diameter for the proximal main of 3.8 - 4.3 mm, distal
main of 3.0 - 3.5 mm, & side branch RVD up to 2.5 mm

- Acceptable target lesion lengths are any combination of:

- <16mm proximally from carina in proximal main vessel

- <16mm distally from the carina in distal main branch

- <12mm from carina in side branch

- Target lesion in main vessel has stenosis of > 50% and <100%

- Target vessel has (TIMI) flow >2

Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria

- Known hypersensitivity/contraindication to aspirin, heparin or bivalirudin,
clopidogrel or ticlopidine, cobalt, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, or sensitivity to
contrast media, which can't be adequately pre-medicated

- Platelet count <100,000 cells/mm³ or >700,000 cells/mm³, or a white blood cell (WBC)
count <3,000 cells/mm³ within 7 days prior to index procedure

- Serum creatinine level >170 micromol/L within 7 days prior to index procedure

- Evidence of acute MI within 72 hours of intended trial procedure (defined as: QWMI or
NQWMI having CK enzymes >2X laboratory upper limit of normal with presence of elevated
CK-MB (any amount above laboratory upper limit of normal)

- Previous stenting anywhere in target vessel

- PCI of non-target vessel within 30 days prior to procedure that results in any MACE
event. If non target vessel stent is implanted within 72 hours prior to index
procedure, 2 post procedural serial CK or CK-MB measurements must be below
investigational site's upper limit of normal.

- PCI of non-target vessel within 24 hours prior to procedure

- Planned PCI of any vessel within 30 days post-procedure

- Planned PCI of the target vessel within 6 months post-procedure

- During index procedure, target lesion requires treatment with device other than PTCA
or cutting balloon prior to stent placement

- Documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <30% at most recent evaluation.

- History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within prior 6 months

- Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within prior 6 months

- History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions

- Concurrent medical condition with life expectancy < 12 months

- Currently participating in investigational drug or device trial that's not completed
the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with current trial endpoints; or
requires coronary angiography, IVUS or other coronary artery imaging procedures.

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria

- Bifurcation angle of >90 degrees by visual estimate

- Target lesion located in native vessel with saphenous vein graft or left/right
internal mammary artery (LIMA/RIMA) bypass

- Significant stenosis (>50%) proximal or distal to target lesion that might require
revascularization or impede run off.

- Target vessel is excessively tortuous (two bends >90º to reach target lesion)

- Target lesion has any of following characteristics:

- Lesion location is aorto-ostial, unprotected left main lesion, or within 5 mm of
origin of left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), or right coronary
artery (RCA).

- Severely calcified

- Evidence of thrombus

- Co-existence of unprotected left main coronary artery disease (obstruction >50% in
left main coronary artery)
