IRB Number:

933-05

Trial Status:

Open for Enrollment

Phase: I

Why is this study being done?

This research study is being done to find out what effects (good and bad) the Endeavor stent has on patients scheduled for an angiogram.

Who is Eligible to Participate in the Study?

Male or female volunteers 18 years of age and older who are scheduled for an angiogram at Mayo Clinic may be eligible to participate in this research study.

What is Involved With this Study?

Upon conducting the clinical examination, your doctor may discover that you have one narrowed coronary (heart) artery that needs to be treated and is suitable to be treated within the proposed study.

If you choose to take part in this study, an investigational Endeavor stent or a USFDA-approved Taxus stent will be placed in your heart artery. You will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to receive either stent and will be as likely to receive the Endeavor stent as you are to receive the Taxus stent.

How long will the Study run?

Participants will be followed for up to five years.
