Abstract
BACKGROUND Gender-specific outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions were studied by a number of research groups with different endpoints and cohorts of different ethnic extractions. The purpose of this report is to use propensity score matching to determine gender-specific differences in clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions with polymer-free sirolimus-coated stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS The basis for this post hoc analysis was two large all-comers studies with prospectively enrolled patients from Europe and Asia. Data were pooled and analyzed in terms of clinical outcomes to assess the impact of gender in patients with stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. The primary endpoint was the accumulated target-lesion revascularization rate whereas secondary endpoints consisted of the event rates for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), myocardial infarction, bleeding events and death from all causes. The purpose of these post hoc analyses was to detect potential differences in clinical outcomes between females and males in unselected and propensity-score-matched cohorts. RESULTS Overall, in the unmatched cohorts, accumulated target-lesion revascularization rates did not differ between both genders (2.7% vs. 2.0%; P = 0.101), however, accumulated MACE rates were higher in females than in males (5.2% vs. 3.9%; P = 0.020). After propensity-score-matching, primarily adjusting for age, hypertension and diabetes, our data revealed similar accumulated MACE in women and men (5.5% vs. 5.2%; P = 0.749). In the unmatched STEMI subgroup, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in females driven by older age ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In the propensity-score-matched real-world cohorts, female gender was not a predictor for increased rates of accumulated MACE. In the unmatched STEMI subgroup, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in females due to older age. Age seems to be the determining factor for increased clinical event rates and not gender.

In-Hospital and 1-Year Clinical Results from the French Registry Using Polymer-Free Sirolimus-Eluting Stents in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Stable Coronary Artery Disease. J Interv Cardiol 2023; 2023:8907315. [PMID: 38125031 PMCID: PMC10733033 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8907315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this postmarket clinical study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the latest generation polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) in an all-comers population comparing outcomes in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) versus acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in France. Background The efficacy and safety of the first-generation PF-SES have already been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials and "all-comers" observational studies. Methods For this all-comers observational, prospective, multicenter study, 1456 patients were recruited in 22 French centers. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at 12 months and secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and bleeding. Results 895 patients had stable CAD and 561 had ACS. At 12 months, 2% of patients had a TLR, with similar rates between stable CAD and ACS (1.9% vs 2.2%, p = 0.7). The overall MACE rate was 5.2% with an expected higher rate in patients with ACS as compared to those with stable CAD (7.3% vs 3.9%, p = 0.007). The overall bleeding event rate was 4.5%, with similar rates in stable CAD as compared to ACS patients (3.8% vs 5.6%, p = 0.3). Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) interruptions prior to the recommended duration occurred in 41.7% of patients with no increase in MACE rates as compared to patients who did not prematurely interrupt DAPT (3.9% vs 6.1%, p = 0.073). Conclusions The latest generation PF-SES is associated with low clinical event rates in these all-comers patients. There was a high rate of prematurely terminated DAPT, without any effect on MACE at 12 months. This trial is registered with NCT03809715.

Safety and Efficacy of Post-Dilation in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Polymer-Free Ultrathin Strut Sirolimus-Probucol Coated Drug-Eluting Stents. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1649. [PMID: 37763768 PMCID: PMC10536641 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59091649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Polymer-free ultrathin strut sirolimus- and probucol-eluting stents (PF-SES) are recognized as safe and effective in diverse patient populations, although the implications of post-dilation during stent implantation remain underexamined. Materials and Methods: In this study, patients implanted with PF-SES at Gachon University Gil Medical Center between December 2014 and February 2018 were evaluated. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), encompassing nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death were identified as primary outcomes, with secondary outcomes including target vessel revascularization (TVR), target lesion revascularization (TLR), and in-stent restenosis (ISR). Results: Of the 384 initial patients, 299 were considered eligible for analysis. The groups, delineated by those undergoing post-dilation (143 patients) and those not (156 patients), exhibited comparable rates of primary outcomes [hazard ratio (HR), 2.17; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.40 to 11.87; p = 0.37]. The outcomes remained consistent irrespective of the post-dilation status and were similarly unaffected in multivariate analyses (HR, 2.90; 95% CI, 0.52 to 16.34; p = 0.227). Conclusions: These results suggest that the clinical outcomes of patients with post-dilation were similar to that of those without post-dilation in those with the polymer-free sirolimus- and probucol-eluting stents.

Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was to compare the accumulated clinical outcomes of two Malaysian all-comers populations, each treated with different polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) of similar stent design. Methods The Malaysian subpopulation of two all-comers observational studies based on the same protocol (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT02629575 and NCT02905214) were combined and compared to a Malaysian-only cohort which was treated with a later-generation PF-SES. The PF-SES’s used differed only in their bare-metal backbone architecture, with otherwise identical sirolimus coating. The primary endpoint was the accumulated target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at 12 months. The rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), stent thrombosis (ST) and myocardial infarction (MI) were part of the secondary endpoints. Results A total of 643 patients were treated with either the first-generation PF-SES (413 patients) or second-generation PF-SES (230 patients). Patient demographics were similar in terms of age (p = 0.744), male gender (0.987), diabetes mellitus (p = 0.293), hypertension (p = 0.905) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS, 44.8% vs. 46.1%, p = 0.752) between groups. There were no differences between treatment groups in terms of lesion length (20.8 ± 7.3 mm vs. 22.9 ± 7.9, p = 0.111) or vessel diameter (2.87 ± 0.39 vs. 2.93 ± 0.40, p = 0.052) despite numerically smaller diameters in the first-generation PF-SES group. The second-generation PF-SES tended to have more complex lesions as characterized by calcification (10.3% vs. 16.2%, p = 0.022), severe tortuosity (3.5% vs. 6.9%, p = 0.041) and B2/C lesions (49.2% vs. 62.8%, p < 0.001). The accumulated TLR rates did not differ significantly between the first- and second-generation PF-SES (0.8% vs. 0.9%, p = 0.891). The accumulated MACE rates were not significantly different (p = 0.561), at 1.5% (6/413) and 2.2% (5/230), respectively. Conclusions Modifications in coronary stent architecture which enhance the radial strength and radiopacity without gross changes in strut thickness and design do not seem to impact clinical outcomes. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT02629575 and NCT02905214.

Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD are frequently excluded from coronary artery disease trials. The aim of this assessment was to study the clinical outcomes of polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent implantations in patients with impaired renal function.Large-scale, international, single-armed, multicenter, 'all comers' observational studies (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02629575 and NCT02905214) were used for this post-hoc subgroup analysis to compare the clinical outcomes in patients with normal renal function (NRF) to those with renal insufficiency (CKD, dialysis dependence). The accumulated target lesion revascularization rate was the primary endpoint at 9 to 12 months whereas the accumulated major adverse cardiac event, stent thrombosis (ST) and procedural success rates were part of the secondary endpoints.There were 6791 patients with NRF, whereas 369 patients had CKD and 83 patients were dialysis dependent. The target lesion revascularization rate at 9 to 12 months was significantly higher in dialysis patients (2.1% vs 3.3% vs 6.7%, P = .011). The accumulated major adverse cardiac events rates in the dialysis and in the CKD group were significantly higher as compared to patients with NRF (13.3% vs 4.0%, P < .001; 6.5% vs 4.0%, P = .024). Finally, ST rates (NRF: 0.7%, CKD: 0.6%, dialysis: 1.3%) were not statistically different between subgroups (P = .768). All-cause cumulative mortality rates were 3.3% (CKD) and 4.0% (dialysis) respectively.Percutaneous coronary interventions with polymer-free, ultra-thin strut sirolimus-eluting stents have comparable revascularization rates in CKD and dialysis dependent patients as compared to percutaneous coronary interventions with other 2nd generation drug-eluting stents. ST and all-cause mortality rates were low as compared to available literature references.
