The purpose of this study is to compare vascular healing of the stented segment after deployment of titanium-nitride-oxide coated cobalt-chromium Optimax™-stent stent and Promus-Element™ everolimus-eluting stent in patients with acute coronary syndromes requiring percutaneous coronary intervention. 1. Comparison of OCT and CFR findings of titanium-nitride-oxide coated cobalt-chromium Optimax™-stent and Promus-Element™ everolimus-eluting stent at two months after the index procedure. 2. Comparison of intravascular coronary flow reserve measurement to non-invasive transthoracic echocardiography-derived coronary flow reserve measurement. 3. Comparison of epicardial vasodilation to coronary microcirculatory vasodilation
