We compared outcomes between biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stent (BP-BES) and new-generation durable polymer drug-eluting stent (DP-DES) implantations in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Among 13472 patients with acute MI in a nationwide registry, 557 (64.8%) were in the BP-BES and 303 (35.2%) in the new-generation DP-DES group following coronary reperfusion. The occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE; death, MI, revascularization) and stent thrombosis was compared. Major adverse cardiac events occurred in 53 (6.2%) patients and showed similar rates between the BP-BES and new-generation DP-DES groups (all: 6.6% vs 5.9%, P = .652; propensity score [PS] matched: n = 380, 6.3% vs 5.3%, P = .623). Stent thrombosis did not differ between groups (all: 0.3% vs 0.4%, P = .892; PS matched: 0.5% vs 0.5%, P = 1.000). Major adverse cardiac event-free survival was comparable between groups (all: 93.4% vs 94.1%, log-rank P = .357; PS matched: 93.7% vs 94.7%, log-rank P = .445). Biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stent was not associated with MACE (all: hazard ratio [HR], 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75-3.74; P = 0.212; PS matched: HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.40-2.75; P = .915). In conclusion, in patients with acute MI, BP-BES was equivalent to the new-generation DP-DES in terms of outcomes.

Background: Despite the marked efficacy demonstrated by drug-eluting stents (DES) in reducing neointimal proliferation, and therefore, the need for target lesion revascularization (TLR), persistent concerns regarding long-term safety and efficacy, especially in more complex subset, are still. Methods: The DESIRE Registry is a large, prospective, non-randomized, single center study assessing the late outcomes of unselected pts treated with DES. Overall, 5,541 pts were consecutively enrolled from May/02-Jun/14. Clinical follow-up (FU) (97%) was performed yearly up to 12 yrs (median 4.9 yrs). Stent thrombosis (ST) was defined according to the ARC. Results: Mean age was 65 yrs, 31% had diabetes, 29% current smokers, 42% presented with ACS (17% recent myocardial infarction, MI), and the majority of lesions were highly complex (67% type B2/C). Overall, there were 8,919 lesions treated with 9,537 DES, and angiographic success was 99%. During the FU period, cumulative event rates were major adverse cardiac events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or TLR) 32%, myocardial infarction 8%, TLR 21%, and cardiac death 6%. As for stent thrombosis, overal rate was 2.4%, given that 95% of patients were free from this event up to 12 years. In the multivariate model, independent predictors of major adverse cardiac events were: prior revascularization by percutaneous intervention (HR 1.21, p=0.03) or surgery (HR 1.53, p<0.001), dyslipidemia (HR 1.20, p=0.03), renal insufficiency (HR 1.41, p<0.001), peripheral vascular disease (HR 2.06, p<0.001), long lesions (HR 1.38, p<0.001), acute coronary syndrome (HR 1.39, p<0.001), and residual stenosis (HR 1.02, p<0.001). As for stent thrombosis, predictors were: recent myocardial infarction (HR 2.66, p=0.001), multiple stents implanted (HR 1.89, p=0.002), saphenous vein graft (HR 2.21, p=0.004), and residual stenosis (HR 1.03, p=0.03). Conclusions: At very long-term follow-up (up to 12 years) in a large cohort of patients from the real world practice, cumulative event rates included TLR in 21% and stent thrombosis in 2.4%. Overall, there were no safety concers, given that 95% of patients were free from stent thrombosis up to 12 years.

Objective: Durable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents (DP-SES) are associated with a low risk of stent thrombosis; biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) were designed to reduce these risks. However, their benefits are still variable. Method: We undertook a meta-analysis of randomized trials identified by systematic searches of Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Database. Results: Eleven studies (9,676 patients) with a mean follow-up of 22.6 months were included. Overall, compared with DP-SES, BP-DES significantly lowered the rate of definite or probable stent thrombosis (RR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.97; p = 0.03; I2 = 0.0%) due to a decreased risk of very late stent thrombosis (RR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.11-0.63; p = 0.00; I2 = 0.0%). However, BP-DES were associated with a comparable rate of early and late stent thrombosis. Meanwhile, BP-DES were associated with a broadly equivalent risk of target vessel revascularization (RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.78-1.03; p = 0.13; I2 = 0.0%), cardiac death (RR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.72-1.09; p = 0.24; I2 = 0.0%), myocardial infarction (RR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.84-1.26; p = 0.79; I2 = 0.0%), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE; RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.83-1.0; p = 0.08; I2 = 0.0%). Furthermore, angiographic data showed that in-stent and in-segment late luminal loss were similar between the two groups. Conclusions: Compared with DP-SES, BP-DES were associated with a lower rate of very late stent thrombosis and an equivalent risk of MACE. Larger randomized studies are needed to confirm this finding.

We compared outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention patients who received biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stents with those who received durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents. At Tehran Heart Center, we performed a retrospective analysis of the data from January 2007 through December 2011 on 3,270 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent or the durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent. We excluded patients with histories of coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention, acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, or the implantation of 2 different stent types. Patients were monitored for 12 months. The primary endpoint was a major adverse cardiac event, defined as a composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and target-vessel and target-lesion revascularization. Durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents were implanted in 2,648 (81%) and biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stents in 622 (19%) of the study population. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups (2.7% vs 2.7%; P=0.984) in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events. The cumulative adjusted probability of major adverse cardiac events in the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent group did not differ from that of such events in the durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent group (hazard ratio=0.768; 95% confidence interval, 0.421–1.44; P=0.388). We conclude that in our patients the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent was as effective and safe, during the 12-month follow-up period, as was the durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent.
