The SPIRIT V Clinical Evaluation consists of two concurrent studies,the Diabetic Study and the Registry. The study will be conducted in up to 150 study centers outside the United States. Approximately 3,000 patients will be enrolled in the study.

The SPIRIT V Diabetic Study is a prospective, randomized, active-controlled, single blind, parallel two-arm multi-center study comparing the XIENCE™ V EECSS to the TAXUS® Liberté™ in the treatment of diabetic patients with coronary artery lesions who will fulfill the eligibility criteria. 300 patients will be randomized (2:1) against the TAXUS® Liberté™ coronary stent system. These patients will be recruited in 30 selected sites.

The SPIRIT V Registry is a prospective, single arm, multi-center registry evaluating performance of the XIENCE™ V EECSS in real-world use, per its Instruction For Use (IFU). 2,700 patients will be enrolled in the SPIRIT V Registry.

Inclusion Criteria:

SPIRIT V Diabetic Study:

• at least 18 years
• able to verbally confirm understanding of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving the XIENCE™ V EECSS and he/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent prior to any study related procedure, as approved by the appropriate Medical Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site
• diagnosed with diabetes, as documented by medical history.
• evidence of myocardial ischemia
• acceptable candidate for CABG surgery
• agree to undergo all CIP-required follow-up examinations
• artery morphology and disease is suitable to be optimally treated with a maximum of 4 planned stents
• maximum of one, de novo, target lesion per native major epicardial vessel or side branch
• target vessel reference diameter must be between 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm by visual estimate
• target lesion ≤ 28 mm in length by visual estimate
• target lesion must be in a major artery or branch with a visually estimated stenosis of > 50% and < 100% and a TIMI flow > 1

SPIRIT V Registry:

• at least 18 years
• able to verbally confirm understanding of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving the XIENCE™ V EECSS and he/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent prior to any study related procedure, as approved by the appropriate Medical Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site
• evidence of myocardial

• undergo all CIP-required follow-up examinations
• artery morphology and disease is suitable to be optimally treated with a maximum of 4 planned XIENCE™ V EESCC
• target lesions must be de novo lesions
• target vessel reference diameter must be between 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm by visual estimate
• target lesion ≤ 28 mm in length by visual estimate

Exclusion Criteria:

SPIRIT V Diabetic Study:

• known diagnosis of AMI within 72 hours preceding the index procedure
• current unstable arrhythmias
• LVEF < 30%
• received a heart or any other organ transplant or is on a waiting list for any organ transplant
• receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 30 days prior to or after the procedure.
• receiving immunosuppression therapy or has known immunosuppressive or autoimmune
• known hypersensitivity or contraindication to specific agents
• elective surgery is planned within the first 9 months after the procedure that will require discontinuing either aspirin or clopidogrel

• CVA or TIA within the past 6 months
• significant GI or urinary bleed within the past 6 months
• other medical illness (e.g., cancer or congestive heart failure) or known history of substance abuse that may cause non-compliance with the CIP, confound the data interpretation or is associated with a limited life expectancy (i.e. less than one year)
• already participating in another device or drug study or has completed the follow-up phase of another study within the last 30 days.

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria of the Diabetic Study

• target lesion meets specific criteria
• target vessel contains visible thrombus
• patient has a high probability that a procedure other than pre-dilatation, stenting and post-dilatation will be required at the time of index procedure for treatment of the target vessel (e.g. brachytherapy)
• patient has additional clinically significant lesion(s) (> 50% diameter stenosis) in a target vessel or side branch for which an intervention within 9 months after the index procedure may be required

SPIRIT V Registry:

Patient is already participating in another device or drug study or has completed the follow-up phase of another study within the last 30 days.
