Research summary
Patients with narrowings in their heart blood vessels are typically treated with stents in procedures which have been shown to be safe and effective. Stents are tubular metallic supports that are delivered over small balloons to heart blood vessels through small catheters inserted in the groin or wrist blood vessels. The purpose of this study is to compare how well heart blood vessels respond to either the Resolute® Integrity stent or XIENCE Xpedition® stent (both commonly used stents in clinical practice) immediately after implantation and to study the healing of your blood vessel over time. Study participants will return to the Cardiac Catheterization laboratory to repeat the study in 12 months.
