Background: The survival advantages of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafts in coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the time-dependent influence of BITA on long-term survival in elective CABG patients presenting with stable multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
Methods: Data from 3,693 patients undergoing isolated CABG with single internal thoracic artery (SITA) or BITA, with or without additional vein grafts, between 2002 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
Randomized comparison of the combined Sirolimus eluting and endothelial progenitor cell Combo stent vs. Biolimus eluting absorbable polymer coated BioMatrix Alpha stent in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Rationale and study design of the Scandinavian Organization for Randomized Trials with Clinical Outcome (SORT OUT) XI trial: SORT-OUT XI Trial Design.

Department of Cardiology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark; University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.
Rationale: The biodegradable polymer BioMatrix Alpha™ stent contains biolimus A9 drug which is sirolimus derivative increase in lipophicity. The biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent is a dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting and CD34+ antobody coated stent capturing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
Hypothesis: The main hypothesis of the SORT OUT XI trial was that the biodegradable polymer biolimus A9 BioMatrix Alpha ™ stent is noninferior to the biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent in an all-comers population with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
