To treat patients with stable coronary artery disease, elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be performed with the use of an everolimus-eluting cobalt- chromium stent (everolimus-eluting stent: EES, Xience Prime, Xpedition), which is the current standard drug-eluting stent (DES). Vascular responses at the site of stent placement will be evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 1 or 3 months and at 12 months after stent placement, along with observation of changes over time in the target vessel. The relationships between OCT findings and the time course of platelet aggregation and between OCT findings and the occurrence of major cardio- cerebrovascular events will also be elucidated.

Rate of stent-strut coverage determined by OCT.
Rate of stent-strut coverage determined by OCT at 3 months after stent placement (To observe temporal course from the early stage, the rate of stent-strut coverage in the 1-month arm will also be evaluated in a complementary manner, separately from the 3-month arm.) To identify the factors defining the strut coverage at 1-month or 3-months, from OCT index, blood markers, platelet aggregation test immediately after stenting, the strut coverage of 1 to 3 months

The percentage of stent strut coverage by OCT
Determination of factors associated with 12-month rate of stent-strut coverage on the basis of OCT findings, circulating biomarkers, and platelet aggregation test results immediately after stent placement
Time frame: 12 month
OCT endpoint
* The percentage of stent strut malapposition * The presence of Intra-stent thrombus * Intra-stent thrombus area (Maximum site) * Intra-stent thrombus length * The number of Intra-stent thrombus
Time frame: 1-month or 3-month
Angiographic Quantitative analysis
* In-segment late loss * Minimal lumen diameter (MLD), reference vessel diameter (RVD), percent diameter stenosis (%DS) * In-stent late loss * Binary restenosis (In-stent, In-segment, Peri-stent) * Angiographically detected stent fracture(based on Popma's classification )
Time frame: 12 month
Angiographic Qualitative analysis
* Peri-stent contrast stain (PSS) * Site and pattern of restenosis (based on Mehran clasification)
Time frame: 12 month
