Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 1-year clinical outcomes of more complex XIENCE V USA real-world patients with small versus nonsmall vessel lesions.

Background: Patients with small vessel lesions undergoing coronary stent placement are at higher risk of major adverse cardiac events. Improved safety and efficacy of XIENCE V everolimus eluting stents (EES) have been previously demonstrated in selected low-risk small vessel populations in randomized clinical trials.

Objectives: The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of XIENCE V in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Background: The XIENCE V(®) Everolimus-eluting coronary stent was superior to the TAXUS(®) paclitaxel-eluting stent in angiographic and clinical outcomes in the SPIRIT II, III, and IV randomized controlled trials, but patients with AMI were excluded.

Methods: XIENCE V USA is a large, prospective, multicenter, real-world single-arm postmarket surveillance trial.

Objectives: This 2-year follow-up of the XIENCE V USA study examines both the long-term safety and effectiveness of the everolimus-eluting coronary stent system (EECSS) in real-world patients.

Background: The safety and effectiveness of EECSS at 1 year in real-world clinical settings have been demonstrated in XIENCE V USA trial with low rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR), cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stent thrombosis (ST). Data on whether efficacy is maintained after 1 year and the event rate of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) between 1 and 2 years have not yet been reported.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of clinical events after XIENCE V (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) stenting.

Background: The XIENCE V USA (XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS] USA Post-Approval) study is a prospective, multicenter, Food and Drug Administration-required post-approval study to examine safety and effectiveness in real-world settings. After an initial 5,062 patients, 2,999 more were included as part of the DAPT (Dual Antiplatelet Therapy) trial (total n = 8,061).

Objectives: The XIENCE V USA (XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System Condition-of-Approval Post-Market study) sought to: 1) evaluate the safety of everolimus-eluting coronary stent systems (EECSS) in a contemporary cohort of real-world subjects; and 2) prospectively test the quality of event reporting with analysis of matched patients from the randomized SPIRIT IV (Clinical Evaluation of the XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Subjects With de Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions) trial.

Background: Randomized trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of EECSS in selected "standard-risk" patients.

Methods: The XIENCE V USA trial was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study in unselected patients.
