Patients with true anaphylaxis to prior contrast media, 6

7 however, should not be enrolled). 2. Severe congestive heart failure (class III or IV according to NYHA, or pulmonary edema) at the time of enrollment. The left ventricular ejection fraction was not considered a criterion for exclusion. 3.

Previous bypass surgery. 5. Prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with DES implantation within 1 year. 6. Two or more chronic total occlusions in major coronary territories. 7. Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (Q-wave) within 72 hours prior to enrollment requiring revascularization. 8. Abnormal creatine kinase (CK > 2 normal) and/or abnormal CK-MB levels and/or elevated troponin levels at the time of randomization. Enrollment was allowed when these cardiac enzymes returned to normal. 9. Previous stroke within 6 months or stroke at more than 6 months with significant residual neurologic involvement. 10. Extra-cardiac illness expected to limit survival to less than 2 years, e.g., oxygendependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, active hepatitis, significant hepatic failure, or severe renal disease. 11. Prior history of significant bleeding (within the previous 6 months) that might be expected to recur during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or PCI/DES-related anticoagulation. 12. Contraindication to either CABG or PCI/DES due to a coexisting clinical condition. 13. Intolerance or contraindication to aspirin or clopidogrel. 7

8 14. Suspected pregnancy. 15. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial. 16. Left main coronary artery stenosis ( 50% diameter). 8

9 III. Definitions of Trial End Points Complete Revascularization No residual stenosis > 50% in any major coronary artery or their large branches with reference diameters of the arteries adjacent to the site of stenosis >2 mm, or a bypass graft feeding the territory distal to a diseased segment. Death The primary end point includes death from any cause. In addition, the cause of death (cardiac vs. non-cardiac) will be adjudicated. If the cause of death cannot be adjudicated the most severe cause will be considered. Death is divided into 2 categories: Cardiac death is defined as death due to any of the following: 1. Acute myocardial infarction. 2. Cardiac perforation/pericardial tamponade. 3. Arrhythmia or conduction abnormality. 4. Cerebrovascular accident within 30 days of the procedure or cerebrovascular accident suspected of being related to the procedure. 5. Death due to complication of the procedure 6. Any death in which a cardiac cause cannot be excluded. Non-cardiac death is defined as a death not due to cardiac causes (as defined above), including bleeding-related death. Major Bleeding (protocol) Major Bleeding is defined as the occurrence of any of the following: intracranial bleeding, intraocular bleeding, retroperitoneal bleeding, access site hemorrhage requiring surgery or a radiological or interventional procedure, hematoma 5cm in 9

10 diameter at the puncture site, reduction in hemoglobin concentration of 4g/dL without an overt source of bleeding, reduction in hemoglobin concentration of 3g/dL with an overt source of bleeding, re-operation for bleeding, or use of any blood product transfusion. Bleeding complications will be adjudicated as either related to or unrelated to surgery. Myocardial Infarction 1. AMI prior to enrollment (if occurred within the past 1 week, it is an exclusion criterion and subject should not be enrolled) Typical rise and gradual fall of troponin or more rapid rise and fall of CK for detecting myocardial necrosis with at least one of the following: a. Ischemic symptoms or atypical symptoms of ischemia; b. Development of pathologic Q waves on the ECG, or new LBBB; OR c. ECG changes indicative of ischemia (ST segment elevation or depression); Troponin rise is defined as at least one value exceeding the 99th percentile of the value for reference control group. CK rise is defined as at least 2 values exceeding the 99th percentile for the reference group or at least one value exceeding twice the upper limit of normal for the specific institution AND an elevated CK-MB. 2. AMI within first 48 hours after the procedure The presence of new Q waves in at least 2 or more contiguous leads, or new LBBB. AND- One plasma level of CK-MB 5X upper normal limit. Periprocedural cardiac enzyme elevations in the absence of Q waves will not be considered an event. 3. AMI more than 48 hours after the procedure 10

11 Typical rise and gradual fall of troponin or more rapid rise and fall of CK-MB for detecting myocardial necrosis with at least one of the following: a. Ischemic symptoms or atypical symptoms of ischemia; b. Development of pathologic Q waves on the ECG, or new LBBB; AND c. Enzyme changes defined as one or more than one plasma level of CK- MB above upper normal level. Stent Thrombosis 1. Definite ST Angiographic confirmation of ST and at least 1 of the following signs present within 48 h: new onset of ischemic symptoms at rest, new electrocardiographic changes suggestive of acute ischemia, or typical rise and fall in cardiac biomarkers. 2. Probable ST Any unexplained death within the first 30 days after intracoronary stenting. 3. Possible ST Any unexplained death occurring from 30 days after intracoronary stenting until the end of the follow-up period. Stent thrombosis was further characterized as acute (0 h to <24 h), subacute ( 1 day to <30 days), late ( 30 days to <1 year), and very late ( 1 year to 15 months). Stroke Stroke is defined as a focal neurological deficit of central origin lasting more than 72 hours. The definitive evaluation for stroke will be conducted in both treatment arms, using the Neurological Assessment (defined in the trial protocol) at baseline, at 72 hours or hospital discharge, whichever comes first, 30 days and 24 months after the assigned 11

12 treatment is performed. Target Lesion Revascularization Any repeat PCI of the target lesion due to recurrent target lesion stenosis. A target lesion revascularization will be considered ischemia-driven if the target lesion diameter stenosis is 50% by QCA (analysis segment measurement, involving the lesion itself and/or 5 mm of proximal and/or distal margin) and any of the following occur: The subject has a positive functional study corresponding to the area served by the target lesion; ischemic ECG changes at rest in a distribution consistent with the target vessel; or ischemic symptoms referable to the target lesion. A target lesion revascularization for a diameter stenosis less than 50% might also be considered ischemia-driven by the CEC if there was a markedly positive functional study or ECG changes corresponding to the area served by the target lesion. A target lesion revascularization will also be considered as ischemia-driven if the lesion diameter stenosis is 70% in the absence of documented clinical or functional ischemia. A target lesion revascularization will be considered clinically-driven if the patient has one of the following: The subject had a positive functional study corresponding to the area served by the target lesion; ischemic ECG changes at rest in a distribution consistent with the target vessel; or ischemic symptoms referable to the target lesion. Target Vessel Revascularization Any repeat PCI or bypass surgery to target vessel. 12

13 IV. Monitoring of Data Quality For the informed consent form, enrollment criteria, and major outcomes, the research team in the Data Coordinating Center in the CardioVascular Research Foundation visited all participating centers and performed monitoring through Source Document Verification. For other variables, the central monitoring method was used. Based on the electronic case reporting form, the research team issued a Data Clarification Form identifying any logical errors, which was sent to each institution. Each investigator corrected the issues on the electronic case reporting form. Additionally, during visits to participating centers, the research team did Source Document Verification of roughly 10% of all cases. 13

14 V. Premature Termination of the Trial This study was prematurely terminated due to slow enrollment. The reason for slow enrollment was presumed to be due to the rapid spread of the clinical use of fractional flow reserve measurement (FFR). Because this study had angiographic inclusion criteria, the clinical use of FFR reduced the enrollment rate of study participants. In addition, the evolution of FFR measurement led the investigators to conclude that this trial no longer represents state-of-the-art PCI and therefore would be less relevant to future therapy. Finally, competing enrollment in another trial (FAME 3 trial [NCT ]) also limited patient enrollment. The executive committee, which also served as the steering committee, asked the data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) to consider premature termination of the trial, blinded to the clinical outcomes. The DSMB recommended stopping enrollment, as it was acknowledged that the past slow rate of enrollment would not be likely to improve in the future, and thus continuing enrollment would be futile. The executive committee accepted the DSMB recommendation. 14
