About this study
The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of coronary stenting with the various types of drug-eluting stents (DES) and to determine clinical device and procedural success during commercial use of DES in the real world.
The investigators will compare EES (Xience V/Promus and Xience Prime), SES (Cypher), ZES (Resolute Integrity, Endeavor Resolute, Endeavor), and BES (Biomatrix, Biomatrix Flex, and Nobori).
Read the detailed description
The Grand Drug-Eluting Stent (Grand-DES) Registry incorporated five different multicenter registries in South Korea. The EXCELLENT prospective cohort and the EXCELLENT-PRIME registry were dedicated for durable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EES; Xience V/Promus and Xience Prime) or 1st-generation sirolimus-eluting stents (Cypher), the HOST-RESOLINTE and RESOLUTE-Korea registry for durable polymer-coated zotarolimus-eluting stents (DP-ZES; Resolute Integrity and Endeavor Resolute) or 1st-generation Endeavor-ZES, and the HOST-BIOLIMUS-3000-Korea registry for biodegradable polymer-coated biolimus-eluting stents (BP-BES; Biomatrix, Biomatrix Flex, and Nobori). During the period of 2008 through 2014, all registries enrolled all-comers without any exclusion criteria except patient's withdrawal of consent.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 37 sites in South Korea.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 37 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Target lesion failure (time frame: 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03507205, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2026.
