Abstract
To investigate the impact of BiodivYsio dexamethazone-eluting stent versus BiodivYsio stent on the 12-month outcomes after revascularisation of patients with single vessel coronary artery disease.From March 2003 to February 2004, 102 patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes, angina or silent ischemia after recent ST elevation myocardial infarction (<1 month) or stable angina pectoris, and single-vessel coronary artery disease were treated solely with dexamethazone-eluting stent implantation in our institution. Patients were followed up prospectively for twelve months. We compared their outcomes to a control group with similar clinical and angiographic characteristics of 160 patients treated solely with BiodivYsio stents in the preceding study enrolment period (January 2002 to March 2003).Approximately 85% of the patients in both groups were treated after an acute coronary syndrome. At 12 months, the major adverse cardiac events rates (death or non-fatal myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization) were similar in the 2 groups (10.8% in the dexamethazone-eluting and 11.3% in the BiodivYsio group, p=1.00). No difference was found in the individual rates of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization between the 2 groups.We conclude that utilization of dexamethazone-eluting stents has no effect in reducing the incidence of major adverse cardiac events after 12 months, as compared with BiodivYsio stent implantation in the treatment of single vessel coronary artery disease.
