Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
1002 subjects were recruited at 65 sites. Eligible subjects invited to participate either in-hospital or in-clinic prior to first procedure and required to provide signed informed consent prior to enrollment. Final eligibility based on angiogram before the intended procedure. Dates of recruitment: 6/22/05 through 3/15/06.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Subjects were randomized via telephone randomization and stratified by single and dual lesion/vessel treatment, diabetes mellitus status, and study sites. Randomization only occurred after verification of the inclusion/exclusion criteria and successful pre-dilatation. See the Eligibility Criteria (inclusion/exclusion criteria) for details.

[2] Details of power calculation, definition of non-inferiority margin, and other key parameters:
  Sample size calculation for endpoint of in-segment LL at 240 days is based on these assumptions: one-tailed non-inferiority= (δ)=0.025, Power=99%, Randomization ratio 2:1, True mean in-seg. LL is assumed to be 0.24 mm in both arms.
