ALPHA LONG Study- BioMatrix AlphaTM Stent Study in Patients With CAD

The objective of this study is to evaluate if PCI performed using the additional sizes of the BioMatrix AlphaTM stent results in similar safety and efficacy outcomes as the currently approved (CE marked) sizes of BioMatrix Alpha.

Inclusion criteria

• Patient is at least 18 years old
• Patients scheduled to undergo PCI of a de novo lesion(s) with reference vessel diameter and lesion length suitable for treatment with at least one study device
• Patients who agree to comply with the follow up requirements
• Patients with a life expectancy of > 1 year at time of consent
• Patients eligible to receive for ≥6 months either dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT, i.e. 75 mg clopidogrel or another P2Y12 inhibitor per choice of the investigator, and 75-100 mg aspirin) or a combination of an oral anti-coagulant (Vitamin K antagonist or novel anti-coagulant) and a single anti-platelet agent
• Hemodynamically stable patients

Exclusion criteria
