Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the safety and effectiveness of the DESyne novolimus-eluting stent (NES) and Orsiro bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- - Conducted from July 2017 to December 2022, the research included 776 patients, with the primary endpoint being major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), such as cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction.
- - Results showed that MACE rates were 4.3% for NES and 6.6% for SES, with no significant difference after adjustments, suggesting similar clinical outcomes for both stents during medium-term follow-up.
Patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) with a high SYNTAX score (SS) were excluded from randomized studies that comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We sought to compare PCI and CABG in the real-world practice and investigate the impact of SS I, SS II, and SS II 2020 on clinical outcomes. In total, 292 Patients with LMCAD (173 PCI, 119 CABG) treated between 2017 and 2021 were enrolled.
