Randomized Comparison of xiEnce and visioN Coronary Stents in the sAme muLtivessel Patient With Chronic kiDnEy diSease

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bare metal stent (BMS) in patients with renal insufficiency has shown unsatisfactory results. Indeed, drug-eluting stents (DES) might reduce the incidence of restenosis and therefore of target lesion revascularization procedures in these patients. We therefore designed a prospective, randomized, multicenter, not-sponsored study to directly compare the efficacy in the prevention of clinical restenosis of everolimus-eluting stent (Xience V) and bare-metal stent (Vision) (both 2nd-generation DES and BMS, respectively), both implanted in the same patient with multivessel disease and renal insufficiency in order to obviate for the multiple and unpredictable characteristics of this high-risk population.
