Safety and efficacy of biodegradable polymer-coated thin strut sirolimus-eluting stent vs. durable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stent in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Introduction The biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents were developed to improve vascular healing. However, further data are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of these stents in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Aim We sought to determine the 1-year clinical follow-up in patients with AMI treated with a thin strut biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) versus a durable coating everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES). Material and methods We analyzed patients with AMI (STEMI and NSTEMI) treated with either a BP-SES (ALEX, Balton, Poland, n = 886) or DP-EES (XIENCE, Abbott, USA, n = 1054) with available 1-year clinical follow-up using propensity sco…

P1699Non-ST segment elevation miocardial infarction (NSTEMI) vs. Unstable angina (UA) in young women aged < 45 years - differences in symptomatology, clinical course, treatment and prognosis

Abstract Background Almost 50% of all ACS in young women are NSTEMI and UA. Due to the type of ACS we observed differences in the symptomatology, treatment and outcomes. The aim was to evaluate the differences in the clinical course and prognosis in young women aged ≤45 years with NSTEMI vs. UA. Methods We compared 1143 women aged ≤45y.o. with acute cardiac syndromes: 51% NSTEMI, 49% UA from the PL-ACS registry between 2007 - 2014. Results Chest pain was predominant in both group, with a higher incidence in NSTEMI group (91.7% vs. 84.7, p=0.0002). UA group was older (42y.o. vs. 41y.o p=0.003), more often presents atypical symptoms (8.0% vs. 1.5%, p<0,0001) mostly with dyspnea (3.9%vs. 1.…

Bioresorbable polymer-coated thin strut sirolimus-eluting stent vs durable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stent in daily clinical practice: Propensity matched one-year results from interventional cardiology network registry

Objectives We sought to determine the 1-year clinical follow-up in patients treated with the thin strut (71 μm) bioabsorbable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) vs durable coating everolimus eluting stent (DP-EES) in daily clinical routine. Background Presence of durable polymers may be associated with late/very late stent thrombosis occurrence and the need for prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy. Bioabsorbable polymers may facilitate stent healing, thus enhancing clinical safety. Methods Interventional Cardiology Network Registry is a prospective, multicenter, observational registry of 21,400 consecutive patients treated with PCI since 2010. We analyzed 4,670 patients treated …

P2711Place of residence and its impact on time to invasive treatment and outcomes of patients with STEMI - analysis from the PL-ACS and AMI-PL registries

Clinical Characteristics, Treatments, and Outcomes of Patients with Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA): Results from a Multicenter National Registry

Background: Diagnosis of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) requires both clinical evidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and demonstration of non-obstructive coronary arteries using angiography. We compared the clinical features, treatments, and three-year outcomes in patients with MINOCA and myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data for 205,606 hospitalized patients with AMI. MINOCA was indicated as a working diagnosis in 6063 patients (2.94% of all AMI patients). For the control group we included 160,886 patients with MI-CAD. We evaluated the baseline characteristics, medica…
