ELITE Study
A Prospective , Single Blind, Randomized, Multi-Center, Study Comparing the Cypher-ELITE to Cypher Bx VELOCITY Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Systems (ELITE Study).
The ELITE study will evaluate multiple safety and efficacy measures including target lesion revascularization, major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as death, myocardial infarctions, and stent thrombosis. Additionally, the study population will also allow for analysis on such complex patient groups as diabetics and multi-vessel disease. Additionally, the ELITE study will add to the safety and efficacy data available for drug eluting stents.
