Objectives: To assess the long-term (3 years) safety and efficacy of Tetrilimus everolimus-eluting stent (EES) and subgroup analysis of outcomes of ultra-long (44/48 mm) Tetrilimus EES implantation in patients with long coronary lesions.

Material And Methods: In this observational, single-centre, single-arm, investigator-initiated registry, 558 patients who underwent implantation of Tetrilimus EES for the treatment of coronary artery disease were retrospectively included. The primary endpoint was occurrence of any major adverse cardiac event (MACE) at 12 months follow-up (composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction [MI], and target lesion revascularization [TLR]) and we hereby report 3 years follow-up data.
