Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of ultrathin strut polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) in a diverse patient population undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
- A total of 7243 patients were included, showing a low target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate of 2.2% and a stent thrombosis rate of 0.7% over 9-12 months of follow-up.
- The results indicate that PF-SES are safe and effective, with particularly high procedural success rates in challenging cases like in-stent restenosis and isolated left main coronary artery disease.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate regional and ethnic differences in patients treated with polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stents (PF-SES) across Asia and Europe.
- It combined data from two observational studies, analyzing 7243 patients and focusing on target lesion revascularization (TLR) rates and major cardiovascular events (MACE) over 9-12 months.
- Results showed low TLR (2.2%) and MACE (4.4%) rates across regions, with notably longer dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in Asia compared to Europe, indicating that longer DAPT may lead to even lower clinical event rates.
