Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both the sirolimus-(SES) and paclitaxel-eluting (PES) stents have been shown to reduce restenosis rates when used in relatively simple lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the results of a consecutive series of patients treated with drug-eluting stent implantation for de novo bifurcation lesions, and compared outcomes with respect to stenting strategy and stent type. PATIENTS From April 2002 to September 2003, all patients at our institution were treated with drug-eluting stent implantation. A consecutive series of 144 patients were treated for 167 de novo bifurcation lesions with SES, followed by 104 patients treated with PES for 113 lesions. RESULTS Clinical follow-up at 6 months was obtained in 99% patients with survival-free of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) of 93.7% for SES versus 85.8% for PES, p=0.05. By multivariate analysis, factors predictive for MACE were age, diabetes mellitus, previous CABG, multivessel disease, treatment for acute myocardial infarction, and treatment with PES. Survival-free of target lesion revascularization (TLR) was 95.7% for SES versus 86.8% for PES, p=0.01, with stent type being the only independent predictor. Technique of stenting was not a predictor of either MACE or TLR. CONCLUSIONS MACE rates for both the SES and PES are low compared with historical data of bare metal stents. The most effective techniques for bifurcation stenting remain undefined. Our data suggests a higher need for TLR for the PES compared with the SES, however further randomized studies are needed to fully evaluate both stenting strategy, and any difference between the stents.

Abstract
From April 16, 2002 to October 16, 2002, 10 consecutive patients with coronary disease on chronic dialysis were treated with sirolimus-eluting stents. Diabetes was present in 30% and half of the patients had multivessel coronary disease. On average, patients had been on dialysis for 5 years prior to the procedure (range: 2-15 years). Five patients were on hemodialysis and 5 patients were on peritoneal dialysis. Overall, 18 lesions were treated with 1.9 +/- 1.1 sirolimus-eluting stents per patient. At a mean follow-up of 403 days, there were no cases of death, myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) postdilatation with largely oversized balloons. We evaluated the clinical outcome of 68 consecutive patients enrolled in the Rapamycin-Eluting Stent Evaluated at Rotterdam Cardiology Hospital (RESEARCH) registry who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with SES implantation and further postdilatation with balloons > 1 mm larger than the stent nominal size. Angiographic follow-up was either scheduled for selected subgroups or clinically driven. Overall, 75 lesions were treated. The procedure was successful in 98.5% of the cases. One patient (1.5%) underwent emergency coronary bypass surgery for acute vessel occlusion. During 10.1 +/- 1.7 months of follow-up, three patients (4.5%) died, one (1.5%) had acute myocardial infarction, and four (6%) had target vessel revascularization. At angiographic follow-up, loss index was 0.13 +/- 0.34 and restenosis rate was 7.7%. Although not routinely recommended in every patient, SES postdilatation with largely oversized balloons appears a safe and effective strategy for selected patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with an increased rate of subsequent adverse events compared to those without prior CABG. We evaluated the impact of utilizing the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in this high-risk population. METHODS Since April 2002, SES implantation was utilized as the default strategy for all percutaneous procedures in our hospital. Consecutive patients with a history of previous CABG and de novo lesions (n=47) treated exclusively with SES, were compared to 66 patients who received bare stents in the 6-month period just before SES introduction. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the groups (SES and bare stent) with respect to baseline clinical or lesion characteristics. The only difference between the groups related to the nominal diameter of stent utilized, which was smaller in the SES group than the bare stent group. (The maximum diameter of SES available was 3.0 mm). At 1 year, the cumulative incidence of major adverse events (defined as death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization) was significantly lower in the SES group than the bare stent group [8.5 versus 30.3%, hazard ratio 0.37 (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.91); P=0.03]. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of the sirolimus-eluting stent for percutaneous intervention in a high-risk population with a history of previous CABG surgery is associated with a significant reduction in the rate of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year.

Abstract
The long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention for mildly obstructive coronary narrowings is limited by the occurrence of restenosis, limiting the applicability of this therapy for these lesions. The present study reports on a consecutive series of 20 patients treated with sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for 23 angiographically mild de novo lesions (defined as a diameter stenosis <50% by quantitative coronary angiography). At a mean follow-up of 399 +/- 120 days, the survival-free of major adverse events was 95%, with no patient requiring target lesion revascularization.

Abstract
The percutaneous treatment of coronary bifurcation stenoses is hampered by an increased rate of subsequent restenosis. The present study reports on the outcomes of a consecutive series of 58 patients with 65 de novo bifurcation stenoses treated with sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in both the main vessel and side branch. At 6 months, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events was 10.3% (1 death and 5 target lesion revascularizations) with no episodes of acute myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation for the treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO). BACKGROUND Long-term results after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of CTOs is hindered by a significant rate of restenosis and reocclusion. In the treatment of relatively simple nonocclusive lesions, SESs have shown dramatically reduced restenosis rates compared with bare metal stents (BMS), but whether these results are more widely applicable is unknown. METHODS From April 2002, all patients at our institution were treated with SES as the device of choice during PCI. During the first six months, 563 patients were treated solely with SES, with treatment of a de novo CTO in 56 (9.9%). This CTO cohort was compared with a similar group of patients (n = 28) treated in the preceding six-month period with BMS. RESULTS At one year, the cumulative survival-free of major adverse cardiac events was 96.4% in the SES group versus 82.8% in the BMS group, p < 0.05. At six-month follow-up, 33 (59%) patients in the SES group underwent angiography with a binary restenosis rate (>50% diameter stenosis) of 9.1% and in-stent late loss of 0.13 +/- 0.46 mm. One patient (3.0%) at follow-up was found to have reoccluded the target vessel. CONCLUSIONS The use of SESs in the treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions is associated with a reduction in the rate of major adverse cardiac events and restenosis compared with BMS.

Abstract
Background—
We evaluated the clinical and angiographic outcomes of patients presenting with restenosis after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation treated with repeated percutaneous intervention.
Methods and Results—
A total of 24 consecutive patients have undergone repeated percutaneous intervention to treat post-SES restenosis (27 lesions). The restenosis was located within the stent in 93% of lesions. From the 27 lesions, 1 (4%) was re-treated with a bare stent, 3 (11%) were treated with balloon dilatation, and the remaining 23 lesions (85%) were treated with repeated drug-eluting stent implantation (SES in 12 lesions [44%], paclitaxel-eluting stents in 11 lesions [41%]). The event-free survival rate was 70.8% after a median follow-up of 279 days from the post-SES treatment. The overall recurrent restenosis rate was 42.9%. The risk of recurrent restenosis was increased for patients with hypercholesterolemia, previous angioplasty, failed brachytherapy, post-SES restenosis needing early (<6 months) treatment, and post-SES restenosis treated with balloon dilatation. The recurrent restenosis rate of originally de novo lesions re-treated with drug-eluting stents was 18.2%.
Conclusions—
Even though de novo lesions treated with SES at baseline and re-treated with drug-eluting stents had reasonably better outcomes than other lesion types and strategies, our study shows that the treatment of post-SES restenosis is currently suboptimal and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to search for a relationship between postoperative death in acute aortic dissection and abdominal helical CT findings before surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively included 48 patients admitted to our institution for emergent surgery of acute aortic dissection diagnosed with helical CT angiography. We recorded postoperative deaths and analyzed abdominal helical CT vessels and parenchymal abnormalities, including the presence of dissected abdominal aortic branches, a compressed aortic lumen, and low enhancement of the parenchyma in abdominal organs. RESULTS Among the 48 patients, 11 died after surgery. Postoperative death occurred in one of five patients with low enhancement of the parenchyma in one abdominal organ and in seven of eight patients with low enhancement of the parenchyma in at least two abdominal organs. The postoperative death rates strongly correlated with the number of low-enhanced abdominal organs per patient (p < 0.00005) but did not correlate with the number of dissected abdominal aortic branches. CONCLUSION The rate of abdominal organs with low enhancement of the parenchyma seen on CT before surgery is a strong factor in outcome in patients with acute aortic dissection. Additional analysis of low enhancement of the parenchyma in abdominal organs on CT might be a useful tool to detect, before surgery, patients at risk of postoperative death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the prognostic value of peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with stable congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that both peak VO(2) and BNP are useful for risk stratification in patients with CHF. No study has compared the respective prognostic value of these two parameters in a large series of patients receiving a combination of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and of beta-blockers. METHODS Patients with stable CHF underwent radionuclide angiography, echocardiography, 24-h Holter monitoring, and a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Blood samples were drawn for standard measurements and for hormonal determinations. RESULTS After a median follow-up period of 787 days, there were 75 cardiac-related deaths and three urgent transplantations. Independent predictors of cardiac survival were percent of maximal predicted VO(2) (%VO(2), relative risk [RR] = 2.84 [95% confidence interval, CI = 1.73 to 4.65], p < 0.00001), BNP (RR = 3.17 [95% CI 1.68 to 5.96], p = 0.0004), left atrial diameter (LAD) (RR = 2.04 [95% CI 1.25 to 3.34], p = 0.004), age (RR = 1.93 [95% CI 1.22 to 3.05], p = 0.005), and aldosterone (RR = 1.84 [95% CI 1.12 to 3.00], p = 0.015). In patients with infra-median levels of BNP (<109 pg/ml), age was the only independent predictor of cardiac survival. However, in patients with supra-median levels of BNP, independent predictors of cardiac survival were %VO(2) (RR = 3.76 [95% CI 2.19 to 6.45], p < 0.00001) and LAD (RR = 1.90 [95% CI 1.10 to 3.28], p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS B-type natriuretic peptide, in combination with %VO(2), improves risk stratification of patients with stable CHF.

Abstract
The impact of blood flow reductions on the intramyocardial inotropic reserve has not yet been established in coronary artery disease (CAD). We therefore evaluated in severe CAD the relationship between positron emission tomography (PET) patterns of perfusion and glucose uptake and the corresponding tagged magnetic resonance imaging (tagged MRI) values of midmyocardial strains under low-dose dobutamine. Eighteen patients underwent tagged MRI (at rest, with dobutamine) and H 152O/18Ffluorodeoxyglucose PET. Regional midmyocardial circumferential shortening ( Ecc) and PET patterns (normal, match viable, mismatch viable, and infarcted) were assessed in three tagged MRI/PET short-axis slices. Regional Ecc at rest correlated with both perfusion ( r = 0.49) and glucose uptake ( r = 0.58). The presence of the inotropic reserve was similar in normal, match viable, and infarcted (∼40% of regions vs. 52% in mismatch viable, P < 0.05), but the extent of the increase after dobutamine was lower in infarcted regions ( P = 0.06). Within each PET pattern, regions were grouped according to their Ecc values at rest into three categories (high, intermediate, and low contractile performance). In mismatch viable (hibernation), the inotropic reserve was similar among the three categories, but in the other PET patterns the presence and extent of the inotropic reserve was higher in those regions with lowest Ecc (without significant differences in perfusion). In severe CAD, the presence of the inotropic reserve assessed by midmyocardial changes under dobutamine does not relate to resting perfusion. At a similar level of perfusion, the presence of the inotropic reserve is inversely related to contractile performance at rest, but our results suggest that it may not be true for hibernating myocardium.

Abstract
The use of bare stents for the percutaneous intervention of saphenous vein bypass grafts (SVGs) is associated with a high subsequent rate of restenosis. To assess the impact of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES), we studied 19 consecutive patients who underwent de novo SVG intervention treated solely with SES. Mean graft age was 10 years. Clinical presentation was an acute coronary syndrome in 68%. In total, twenty-two de novo lesions were treated with 35 SESs (mean=1.6 stents per lesion). Use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy and distal embolization protection device were at operator discretion and were 42% and 32%, respectively. The rate of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was 11%, related to 2 patients with a creatine kinase rise consistent with peri-procedural acute myocardial infarction (AMI); a distal protection device was not utilized in either. Over a mean 12.5+/-2.6 month follow-up, one patient died from a non-cardiac cause, and there were no further AMIs. Target lesion revascularization was undertaken in 1 patient (5%); survival free of MACE was 84%. In conclusion, utilizing SESs for percutaneous intervention of degenerate SVGs is associated with a low rate of target vessel revascularization. Increased utilization of distal protection devices might reduce the peri-procedural rate of AMI.

Abstract
Long-length stenting has a poor outcome when bare metal stents are used. The safety and efficacy of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in long lesions has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and angiographic outcomes of SES implantation over a very long coronary artery segment. Since April 2002, all patients treated percutaneously at our institution received a SES as the device of choice as part of the Rapamycin Eluting Stent Evaluated At Rotterdam Cardiology Hospital (RESEARCH) registry. During the RESEARCH registry, stents were available in lengths of 8, 18, and 33 mm. The present report includes a predefined study population consisting of patients treated with >36-mm-long stented segments. Patients had a combination of >or=2 overlapping stents at a minimum length of 41 mm (i.e., one 33-mm SES overlapping an 8-mm SES) to treat native de novo coronary lesions. The incidence of major cardiac adverse events (death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization) was evaluated. The study group comprised 96 consecutive patients (102 lesions). Clinical follow-up was available for all patients at a mean of 320 days (range 265 to 442). In all, 20% of long-stented lesions were chronic total occlusions, and mean stented length per lesion was 61.2 +/- 21.4 mm (range 41 to 134). Angiographic follow-up at 6 months was obtained in 67 patients (71%). Binary restenosis rate was 11.9% and in-stent late loss was 0.13 +/- 0.47 mm. At long-term follow-up (mean 320 days), there were 2 deaths (2.1%), and the overall incidence of major cardiac events was 8.3%. Thus, SES implantation appears safe and effective for de novo coronary lesions requiring multiple stent placement over a very long vessel segment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The factors associated with the occurrence of restenosis after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation in complex cases are currently unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort of consecutive complex patients treated with SES implantation was selected according to the following criteria: (1) treatment of acute myocardial infarction, (2) treatment of in-stent restenosis, (3) 2.25-mm diameter SES, (4) left main coronary stenting, (5) chronic total occlusion, (6) stented segment >36 mm, and (7) bifurcation stenting. The present study population was composed of 238 patients (441 lesions) for whom 6-month angiographic follow-up data were obtained (70% of eligible patients). Significant clinical, angiographic, and procedural predictors of post-SES restenosis were evaluated. Binary in-segment restenosis was diagnosed in 7.9% of lesions (6.3% in-stent, 0.9% at the proximal edge, 0.7% at the distal edge). The following characteristics were identified as independent multivariate predictors: treatment of in-stent restenosis (OR 4.16, 95% CI 1.63 to 11.01; P<0.01), ostial location (OR 4.84, 95% CI 1.81 to 12.07; P<0.01), diabetes (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.14 to 6.31; P=0.02), total stented length (per 10-mm increase; OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.68; P<0.01), reference diameter (per 1.0-mm increase; OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.87; P=0.03), and left anterior descending artery (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.69; P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Angiographic restenosis after SES implantation in complex patients is an infrequent event, occurring mainly in association with lesion-based characteristics and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the clinical outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) treated with sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) or with conventional bare stents. BACKGROUND The clinical impact of SES implantation for patients with ST-segment elevation MI is currently unknown. METHODS Primary angioplasty was performed with SESs in 186 consecutive patients with acute MI who were compared with 183 patients treated with bare stents. The incidence of death, reinfarction, and repeat revascularization was assessed at 30 and 300 days. RESULTS Postprocedure vessel patency, enzymatic release, and the incidence of short-term adverse events were similar in both the sirolimus and the bare stents (30-day rate of death, reinfarction, or repeat revascularization: 7.5% vs. 10.4%, respectively; p = 0.4). Stent thrombosis was not diagnosed in any patient in the sirolimus group and occurred in 1.6% of patients treated with bare stents (p = 0.1). At 300 days, treatment with SESs significantly reduced the incidence of combined adverse events (9.4% vs. 17%; hazard ratio [HR] 0.52 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30 to 0.92]; p = 0.02), mainly due to a marked reduction in the risk of repeat intervention (1.1% vs. 8.2%; HR 0.21 [95% CI 0.06 to 0.74]; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Compared to conventional bare stents, the SESs were not associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis and were effective in reducing the incidence of adverse events at 300 days in unselected patients with ST-segment elevation acute MI referred for primary angioplasty.

ospital (RESEARCH) registry. Consecutive patients with de novo lesions (n=508) treated exclusively with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES group) were compared with 450 patients who received bare stents in the period just before (pre-SES group). Patients in the SES group more frequently had multivessel disease, more type C lesions, received more stents, and had more bifurcation stenting. At 1 year, the cumulative rate of major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization) was 9.7% in the SES group and 14.8% in the pre-SES group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.62 [95% CI, 0.44 to 0.89];
P
=0.008). The 1-year risk of clinically driven target vessel revascularization in the SES group and in the pre-SES group was 3.7% versus 10.9%, respectively (HR, 0.35 [95% CI, 0.21 to 0.57];
P
<0.001).
Conclusions—
Unrestricted utilization of sirolimus-eluting stents in the “real world” is safe and effective in reducing both repeat revascularization and major adverse cardiac events at 1 year compared with bare stent implantation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation for patients with multivessel disease, which included left anterior descending artery (LAD) treatment. Since April 2002, SES has been utilized as the device of choice for all interventions in our institution as part of the Rapamycin-Eluting Stent Evaluated at Rotterdam Hospital (RESEARCH) registry. In the first 6 months of enrollment, 99 consecutive patients (17.6% of the total population) were treated for multivessel disease involving the LAD. The impact of SES implantation on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was evaluated. All the patients received SES in the LAD. Additional stent implantation in the right coronary artery, the left circumflex, or in all three major vessels was attempted successfully in 32 (32%), 51 (52%), and 16 (16%) of the treated patients respectively. During a mean follow-up of 360 +/- 59 days (range, 297-472 days), we had one death, one non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, and eight patients required subsequent intervention. The event-free survival of MACE at 1 year was 85.6%. SES implantation for multivessel disease in a consecutive series of patients is associated with low incidence of adverse events. The reported results are related predominantly to the reduction in repeat revascularization.

Abstract
The effectiveness of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation in patients treated electively for left main (LM) stenoses has not been yet ascertained. The present study reports on the clinical and angiographic outcome of 16 consecutive patients treated electively for de novo stenoses in the LM. The impact of SES implantation on major adverse cardiac events was evaluated. Mean age was 65 +/- 11 years. Unprotected LM was present in nine (56%), and eight patients (50%) received stents extending into both the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries for stenoses of the distal left main bifurcation. In-house mortality and reintervention rate was zero. One patient developed a non-Q-wave myocardial infarction related to the index procedure. At 1-year clinical follow-up, there were no deaths or further myocardial infarctions; one (6%) patient required target lesion revascularization. A total of 12 patients (75%) underwent 6-month angiographic follow-up with a late lumen loss of 0.04 +/- 0.65 mm and one focal restenosis (8% of patients). Elective SES implantation for LM disease was associated with zero mortality and a very low incidence of additional major adverse events at 1 year.

Abstract
Background—
Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) have recently been proven to reduce restenosis and reintervention compared with bare stents. Safety and effectiveness of SES in acute myocardial infarction remain unknown.
Methods and Results—
Since April 16, 2002, a policy of routine SES implantation has been instituted in our hospital, with no clinical or anatomic restrictions, as part of the RESEARCH (Rapamycin-Eluting Stent Evaluated At Rotterdam Cardiology Hospital) registry. During 6 months of enrollment, 96 patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction underwent percutaneous recanalization and SES implantation; these patients comprise the study population. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, reintervention) was evaluated. Six-month angiographic follow-up was scheduled per protocol. At baseline, diabetes mellitus was present in 12.5% and multivessel disease in 46.9%. Primary angioplasty was performed in 89 patients (92.7%). Infarct location was anterior in 41 (42.7%) of the cases, and 12 patients (12.5%) had cardiogenic shock. Postprocedural TIMI-3 flow was achieved in 93.3% of the cases. In-hospital mortality was 6.2%. One patient (1.1%) had reinfarction and target lesion reintervention the first day as a result of distal dissection and acute vessel occlusion. During follow-up (mean follow-up of 218±75 days), 1 patient died (1.1%), no patient had recurrent myocardial infarction, and there were no additional reinterventions. No early or late stent thromboses were documented. At angiographic follow-up (70%), late loss was −0.04±0.25, and no patient presented angiographic restenosis.
Conclusions—
In this study, sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction was safe without documented angiographic restenosis at 6 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We describe the clinical and morphological patterns of restenosis after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS From 121 patients with coronary angiography obtained >30 days after SES implantation, restenosis (diameter stenosis >50%) was identified in 19 patients and 20 lesions (located at the proximal 5-mm segment in 30% or within the stent in 70%). Residual dissection after the procedure or balloon trauma outside the stent was identified in 83% of the proximal edge lesions. Lesions within the stent were focal, and stent discontinuity was identified in some lesions evaluated by intravascular ultrasound. CONCLUSIONS Sirolimus-eluting stent edge restenosis is frequently associated with local trauma outside the stent. In-stent restenosis occurs as a localized lesion, commonly associated with a discontinuity in stent coverage. Local conditions instead of intrinsic drug-resistance to sirolimus are likely to play a major role in post-SES restenosis.
