Objectives And Methods: Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) can reduce restenosis and reintervention compared with bare metal stents (BMS). However, the safety and efficacy of SES for diffuse long lesions remain unknown. This study compared the efficacy of SES and BMS using the initial and mid-term outcomes of 124 patients with 130 long coronary lesions (SES lengths > or = 30 mm) compared to 141 patients with 146 lesions treated with BMS.
Results: Quantitative coronary arteriography parameters and initial success rate were not significantly different between the two groups. Occurrence of stent thrombosis was not different between the groups (1 case, 0.7% in group SES vs 0 case, 0% in group BMS). Restenosis and major adverse cardiac event rates at 6 months were lower in the SES group than in the BMS group (3.1% vs 34.2%, p < 0.0001, 3.8% vs 31.5%, p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: Initial effects of sirolimus-eluting stents for diffuse long lesions are as useful and as safe as BMS. The mid-term outcomes for SES are superior due to the lower rates of both restenosis and major adverse cardiac event.

Introduction And Objectives: Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in vessels with moderate-to-severe tortuosity are at higher risk of adverse outcomes, but data are scarce in the era of newer-generation stents. We compared outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention in vessels with moderate-to-severe tortuosity using a bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) vs a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent.
Methods: A total of 2350 patients from the BIOFLOW II, IV, and V randomized trials were stratified into 2 groups based on target-vessel tortuosity: none-to-mild and moderate-to-severe.

Limited evidence exists regarding the long-term outcomes of true versus nontrue coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) treated with current-generation drug-eluting stents and intravascular imaging guidance. The Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic (SCVC) registry was a prospective, single-center, all-comers registry enrolling 1,727 consecutive patients treated with bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent under complete imaging guidance. From this registry, 440 patients with CBLs (25.

Background: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of BioMime sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) system, with an ultra-low strut thickness (65 µm), in real-world all-comers population with coronary artery stenosis (CAD).
Methods: This was a post-marketing, multicenter, single-arm, observational clinical registry among patients undergoing intervention for CAD. Patients were clinically followed up at 1, 9, 12, and 24 months after the index percutaneous coronary intervention.

Background: The Orsiro and Genoss DES stents are biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (DESs) with ultrathin struts.
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of these two ultrathin DESs in real-world practice.
Methods: From a single-center prospective registry, we included 751 and 931 patients treated with the Genoss DES and Orsiro stents, respectively.

Background: Although coronary artery involvement in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is rare, emergency revascularization is recommended for managing acute coronary syndrome. However, coronary aneurysm formation and stent migration after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation have been reported for this disease. Thus, new treatment modalities are warranted for the management of coronary artery disease in this vasculitis.
