Bioresorbable vascular scaffold use for coronary bifurcation lesions: A substudy from GHOST EU registry
2016
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate midterm outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) implanted in bifurcation lesions. Background BVS have emerged as an alternative to conventional metallic drug-eluting stents for the treatment of coronary complex lesions. Methods Between November 2011 and January 2014, 1189 patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with BVS at 10 European centers (GHOST EU registry). Of these, 289 consecutive patients (302 bifurcation lesions) treated with either single-stenting (n = 260) or double-stenting (n = 42) were evaluated. Results True bifurcations were treated in 44.7%. Intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography w…
Bioresorbable Everolimus-Eluting Vascular Scaffold for Long Coronary Lesions
2017
Abstract Objectives The authors sought to investigate 1-year outcomes in patients treated with bioresorbable everolimus-eluting vascular scaffolds (BVS) for “long coronary lesions.” Background The present substudy derived from the GHOST-EU registry included 1,722 lesions in 1,468 consecutive patients, enrolled between November 2011 and September 2014 at 11 European centers. Methods The lesions were divided into 3 groups according to continuous BVS length: 1) shorter than 30 mm; 2) between 30 and 60 mm; and 3) longer than 60 mm. Primary device-oriented endpoint (target lesion failure [TLF]) was defined as a combination of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinical…
New-generation drug-eluting stents for left main coronary artery disease according to the EXCEL trial enrollment criteria: Insights from the all-come…
2019
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been established as an alternative treatment option to coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) surgery in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD). Whether the findings of randomized controlled trials are applicable to a real-world patient population is unclear.We compared the outcomes of PCI with new-generation DES in the all-comer, international, multicenter DELTA-2 registry retrospectively evaluating mid-term clinical outcomes with the historical CABG cohort enrolled in the DELTA-1 registry according to the EXCEL key inclusion or exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke a…
