- Number of target Lesion Failure (TLF) at 12 Months [ Time Frame: 12 Months ]Non-inferiority of Magic Touch SCB compared to everolimus-eluting DES (EES) in terms of target lesion failure (TLF), a composite clinical endpoint, at 12 months.
- Number of NACEs [ Time Frame: 12 Months ]Verify the superiority of the study device in terms of net adverse clinical events (NACE), a composite endpoint including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and major bleedings following the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types 3 or 5 definition.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- age >18 years;
- all patients with a clinical indication to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) (stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes);
- native coronary artery lesion in a vessel with diameter >2.0 mm and ≦3.0 mm at visual estimation;
- maximum lesion length: 40 mm.
- informed consent to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- patients with known (and untreatable) hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, sirolimus or contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated;
- patients participating in another clinical study;
- subject is a woman who is pregnant or nursing (pregnancy test, either urine or blood test must be performed within 7 days prior to the index procedure in woman of child-bearing potential, and must not commit to initiating a pregnancy for 12 weeks after implantation, using effective contraception);
- creatinine clearance <30 ml/min;
- left ventricular ejection fraction <30%;
- life expectancy <12 months;
- ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the previous 48 hours;
- visible thrombus at lesion site;
- culprit lesion stenosis >99% and/or Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow <2;
- target lesion/vessel with any of the following characteristics:
- concomitant PCI at the same vessel with any device (vessels are considered: left anterior descending, circumflex or right coronary artery);
- pre-dilatation of the target lesion not performed or not successful (residual stenosis >30%);
- severe calcification of the target vessel, at lesion site but also proximally;
- highly tortuous vessel which could impair device delivery to the lesion site following Investigator's judgement;
- previous stent implantation at target vessel (left anterior descending artery; circumflex artery; right coronary artery);
- bifurcation lesion where side branch treatment is anticipated;
- left main stem stenosis >50%;
- target lesion is in left main stem
