Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

AGENT IDE is a Prospective, Randomized (2:1), Multicenter Trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Agent Paclitaxel Coated PTCA Balloon Catheter compared to balloon angioplasty (POBA) in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) of a previously treated lesion of up to 26 mm in length (by visual estimate) in a native coronary artery 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter.
