A Study of the TAXUS Liberté Stent for the Treatment of de Novo Coronary Artery Lesions in Small Vessels

February 1, 2012 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation

TAXUS ATLAS SMALL VESSEL: A Multi-center, Single-arm Study of the TAXUS Liberté™-SR Stent for the Treatment of Patients With de Novo Coronary Artery Lesions in Small Vessels

TAXUS ATLAS Small Vessel is a global, multi-center, single-arm, trial of patients with coronary arteries less than 2.5 mm in diameter who are treated with the TAXUS Liberté stent versus an historical TAXUS Express control derived from a subset of lesion-matched TAXUS V patients treated with a 2.25 mm stent. The objective of the study is to evaluate clinical and angiographic outcomes of TAXUS Liberté-SR 2.25 mm stent in de novo lesions. The hypothesis is that the TAXUS Liberté-SR stent has non-inferior safety and efficacy to the TAXUS Express-SR stent in the treatment of de novo lesions in small coronary vessels.

Detailed Description

TAXUS ATLAS Small Vessel is a global, multi-center, single-arm, trial of patients receiving the TAXUS Liberté-SR 2.25 mm paclitaxel-eluting stent. The results will be compared with two different historical control groups. The first control group consists of a subset of lesion-matched TAXUS V patients treated with a 2.25 mm TAXUS Express-SR paclitaxel-eluting stent. The objective of this analysis is to evaluate clinical and angiographic outcomes of TAXUS Liberté-SR 2.25 mm stent in de novo lesions versus the TAXUS Express-SR stent. The hypothesis is that the TAXUS Liberté-SR stent has non-inferior safety and efficacy to the TAXUS Express-SR stent in the treatment of de novo lesions in small coronary vessels. The second control group consists of a subset of lesion-matched TAXUS V patients treated with either a 2.5 mm or a 2.25 mm bare metal Express stent. The objective of this analysis is to evaluate clinical and angiographic outcomes of TAXUS Liberté-SR 2.25 mm stent in de novo lesions versus the Express bare metal stent. The hypothesis is that the TAXUS Liberté-SR stent has superior safety and efficacy to the Express bare metal stent in the treatment of de novo lesions in small coronary vessels.
