Early and midterm outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds for ostial coronary lesions: insights from the GHOST-EU registry.
2016
Aims: We aimed to investigate the outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in coronary ostial lesions. Ostial lesions represent a challenging angiographic subset, with higher event rates compared with non-ostial lesions. BVS might be associated with advantages over the long term, but their safety in this setting remains to be explored. Methods and results: Procedural and 12-month follow-up data from consecutive patients treated with BVS for lesions located at the ostium of the right (RCA), left anterior (LAD) or circumflex (LCX) coronary in 11 European centres were collected. The primary device-oriented endpoint was defined as a combination of cardiovascular death, target vessel m…
Two-year clinical follow up of coronary drug-eluting stent in patients at high risk for coronary restenosis
2008
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term follow up of patients at high risk for coronary restenosis. BACKGROUND: Drug-eluting stents (DES) have been proven to reduce restenosis and reintervention compared with bare-metal stents (BMS). Although the safety of DES is not different from that of BMS in the short-to-medium term, concern has arisen about the potential for late stent thrombosis related to delayed endothelialization of the stent struts. METHODS: Among 495 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between June 2004 and March 2005, we retrospectively identified a subset of 150 patients (30%) at high risk for coronary restenosis on the basis of angiographic characteristics …
Percutaneous coronary intervention with everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffolds in routine clinical practice: early and midterm outcomes …
2015
Clinical data on the early and midterm outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in routine clinical practice are limited. To fill this gap, we report on the early and midterm clinical outcomes of PCI with everolimus-eluting BVS from the large multicentre GHOST-EU registry.Between November 2011 and January 2014, 1,189 patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with one or more BVS (Absorb BVS; Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) at 10 European centres. The primary outcome of interest was target lesion failure (TLF), defined as the combination of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR). A total of 1…
A novel approach to define risk of stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents: the DERIVATION score.
2009
Recent studies of drug-eluting stents (DES) use in routine clinical practice have led to concern regarding their long-term safety and to questions about the adequacy of current antiplatelet therapy guidelines. This study sought to derivate a risk score for predicting stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stenting. The large single center DES Real-world Incremental Value in the erA of percutaneous revascularizaTION (DERIVATION) database, collecting data about 1,377 patients of any age undergoing PCI with DES as treatment for symptomatic coronary artery disease, was use for this purpose. Logistic regression and bootstrap procedure were used to select correlates of stent thrombosis that were sub…
Head-to-head comparison of sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting stent in the same diabetic patient with multiple coronary artery lesions: a prospective,…
2007
OBJECTIVE - It is still controversial whether sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) are equally effective in patients with diabetes. In these patients, multiple individual variables may be responsible for neointimal hyperplasia, thus making difficult the comparison of the two drug-eluting stents (DES). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - We designed a prospective, randomized study to compare the efficacy in prevention of restenosis of SES and PES, both implanted in the same diabetic patient with multiple de novo coronary artery lesions undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention. We enrolled 60 patients with diabetes with at least two significant de novo angi…
Five-Year Results of the Bioflow-III Registry:Real-World Experience with a Biodegradable Polymer Sirolimus-Eluting Stent
2018
Abstract Purpose We aimed to assess long-term safety and performance of the Orsiro sirolimus-eluting coronary stent with biodegradable polymer in a large unselected population and in pre-specified subgroups. Methods BIOFLOW-III is a prospective, multicenter, international, observational registry with follow-up visits scheduled at 6 and 12 months, and at 3 and 5 years ( NCT01553526 ). Results 1356 patients with 1738 lesions were enrolled. Of those, 392 (28.9%) declined to participate in the study extension from 18 months to 5 years, 37 (2.7%) withdrew consent, and 89 (6.6%) were lost to follow-up. At 5-years, Kaplan-Meier estimates of target lesion failure, defined as a composite of cardiac …
Long-term follow-up after drug eluting stent implantation in left main trifurcations
2009
Aims: Trifurcation lesions, which are mostly observed in distal left main (LM), represent a technical challenge for interventional cardiologists. We sought to determine the feasibility and long-term clinical outcome of drug eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with LM coronary trifurcation lesions. Methods and results: All patients with clinically significant de novo LM trifurcation lesions, who refused coronary artery bypass surgery and were considered eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), were consecutively enrolled in this study from November 2005 to February 2007. Eleven patients (65±9 years, 91% men) met all the inclusion criteria and underwent LM trifurcation …
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…
Sicilian DES Registry: prospective in-hospital and 9-month clinical and angiographic follow-up in selected high restenosis risk patients.
2008
OBJECTIVE: This is a multicentre, open label, prospective non-randomized registry, with 9-month angiographic follow-up, conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drug-eluting stents (DES) when used in high restenosis risk patients from the real world. METHODS: From June 2004 to February 2005, a total of 1622 consecutive patients were enrolled to the Sicilian DES Registry, according to specific inclusion criteria. Both paclitaxel-eluting and sirolimus-eluting stents were used. The analysis was performed on 1472 patients because 150 patients were excluded from the study. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 9 months after DES …
Long-term clinical outcomes after drug-eluting stent implantation in unprotected left main coronary artery disease.
2009
Objective: To investigate long-term outcomes of unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease treatment using drug-eluting stents (DES). Background: In several studies, DES implantation in ULMCA appeared safe and effective at mid-term; however, to date, there is limited long-term data. Methods: All consecutive patients undergoing sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation in ULMCA disease at a single institution were evaluated. The primary endpoint was long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization (TLR). Stent thrombosis (ST), according to Academic Research Consortium definitions, w…
