Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Europe as a whole, and while mortality rates for cardiovascular disease have decreased in most western European countries, due to expanded use of prevention strategies and better treatment, coronary heart disease mortality in the middle age groups is increasing rapidly in most of the countries in Eastern Europe. The number of procedures performed to treat cardiovascular disease in Europe is constantly increasing, although different types of procedures are exhibiting different trends. Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) procedures, for example, totaled 430,000 in the European Union (15 countries) and 520,000 in Europe as a whole (33 countries) in 2000, as reported by the Euro Heart Survey, and growth is continuing at a rate of more than 20% per year. Despite the effectiveness of intracoronary stents in maintaining a larger luminal diameter as compared to angioplasty alone, 15 - 35% of in-stent restenosis occurs within 6 to 9 months after stent placement. While stents can reduce restenosis by blocking vascular recoil and remodeling, mechanical intervention alone is incapable of treating the biological problem of neointimal hyperplasia. Various approaches have been used to treat in-stent restenosis, including balloon angioplasty, repeat stenting, rotational and directional atherectomy, laser and local use of radiation at the time of stenting (brachytherapy). However, these techniques add complexity to the interventional procedure and have not had documented success in preventing restenosis. Drug-eluting stents (DES) using antiproliferative agents delivered via a polymer based stent platform have shown significant success in the reduction of restenosis in de novo lesions over the traditional bare metal stents in randomized clinical trials. Local delivery of the pharmacological agent allows for controlled delivery of high drug concentrations to the targeted tissue while maximizing systemic drug effects. The ZoMaxx I Trial is a study of the ZoMaxx Drug Eluting Coronary Stent System (ZoMaxx DES) to evaluate the potential benefits of the local application of the zotarolimus drug in combination with a phosphorylcholine (PC)-coated tri-metal stent.
