This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial to demonstrate an inequality between IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided implantation of everolimus-eluting stents(EES) at long lesions(\> 28 mm) in clinical outcomes at 12 months as a primary objective and safety of 6- month dual antiplatelet therapy following EES implantation in comparison with a 12-month dual antiplatelet therapy.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of IVUS guidance on the clinical outcomes after implantation of DES at long lesions \> 28 mm.

Patients will be randomized in a two-by-two factorial manner according to the use of IVUS guidance (IVUS guidance vs. no IVUS guidance) for the PCI and the duration of dual anti-platelet therapy (100 mg/day aspirin and 75mg/day clopidogrel for 6 months vs. 12 months) after PCI. Each randomization of the enrolled subjects will be done 1:1.
