AI Article Synopsis
- New-generation drug-eluting stents are being studied for their effectiveness in preventing coronary events, particularly among patients with more complex conditions.
- Researchers compared a durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent against a biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent in a randomized trial to assess safety and effectiveness over a year.
- The results showed similar outcomes for both stents, suggesting that the type of polymer used does not significantly impact major safety and efficacy endpoints.
Article Abstract
Background: New-generation drug-eluting coronary stents have reduced the risk of coronary events, especially in patients with complex disease or lesions. To what extent different stent platforms, polymers, and antiproliferative drugs affect outcomes, however, is unclear. We investigated the safety and efficacy of a third-generation stent by comparing a highly biocompatible durable-polymer-coated zotarolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable-polymer-coated biolimus-eluting stent.
Methods: This open-label, randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial was done at three sites across western Denmark. All patients who presented with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes and at least one coronary artery lesion (more than 50% stenosis) from March, 2011, to August, 2012, were assessed for eligibility. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent or the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent. The primary endpoint was a composite of safety (cardiac death and myocardial infarction not clearly attributable to a non-target lesion) and efficacy (target-lesion revascularisation) at 12 months, analysed by intention to treat. The trial was powered to assess non-inferiority of durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent compared with the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent with a predetermined non-inferiority margin of 0·025. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01956448.
Findings: Of 7103 screened, 1502 patients with 1883 lesions were assigned to receive the durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent and 1497 patients with 1791 lesions to receive the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent. 79 (5·3%) and 75 (5·0%) patients, respectively, met the primary endpoint (absolute risk difference 0·0025, upper limit of one-sided 95% CI 0·016%; p=0·004). The individual components of the primary endpoint did not differ significantly between stent types at 12 months.
Interpretation: The durable-polymer-coated zotarolimus-eluting stent was non-inferior to the biodegradable-polymer-coated biolimus-eluting stent in unselected patients.

Comparison of Ridaforolimus-Eluting and Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stents: 5-Year Outcomes From the BIONICS and NIREUS Trials.
J Am Heart Assoc

Department of Cardiology, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Affiliated with the School of Medicine Tel Aviv University Tel Aviv Israel.
Article Synopsis
- The BIONICS and NIREUS trials compared the ridaforolimus-eluting stent (RES) and zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES), showing that RES was noninferior to ZES for 1-year target-lesion failure and 6-month lumen loss.
- A pooled analysis of 2221 patients over 5 years found similar rates of target-lesion failure (12.2% for RES vs 11.3% for ZES), with no significant differences in other outcomes like myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis.
- Although the RES group had higher rates of target-vessel revascularization and cardiac death, these differences were not significant after adjusting for patient characteristics, indicating long-term
Bioadaptor implant versus contemporary drug-eluting stent in percutaneous coronary interventions in Sweden (INFINITY-SWEDEHEART): a single-blind, non-inferiority, registry-based, randomised controlled trial.
Lancet

Department of Medical Sciences, Cardiology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden; Uppsala Clinical Research Center, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a new implant called the DynamX bioadaptor compared to a traditional drug-eluting stent (DES) in improving outcomes for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to heart disease.
- Conducted across 20 hospitals in Sweden, the study randomly assigned eligible patients aged 18-85 to receive either the bioadaptor or a zotarolimus-eluting DES, measuring outcomes such as target lesion failure after 12 months.
- The primary goal is to ensure the new device is not worse than the DES by measuring specific heart-related adverse events and ensuring that the risk difference remains within a predefined limit, indicating safety and efficacy.
Cost-Effectiveness of Three Different New-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in the Randomised BIO-RESORT Trial at 3 Years.
Pharmacoecon Open

Department of Cardiology, Thoraxcentrum Twente, Medisch Spectrum Twente, Koningsplein 1, 7512 KZ, Enschede, The Netherlands.
Background And Objective: Evidence on health economic outcomes for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) comparing different contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES) with each other is scarce, as most previous randomised DES trials did not assess such aspects. This prespecified health economic evaluation of the Comparison of Biodegradable Polymer and Durable Polymer Drug-Eluting Stents in an All Comers Population (BIO-RESORT) trial aimed to compare at 3-year follow-up both health effects and costs of PCI with one of three new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease.
Methods: The randomised BIO-RESORT trial assessed in 3514 patients the ultrathin-strut biodegradable polymer Orsiro sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) and very-thin-strut Synergy everolimus-eluting (EES) stent versus the thin-strut durable polymer Resolute Integrity zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES).

Article Synopsis
- - This study developed a machine learning model to personalize the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after coronary stent implantation, aiming to reduce bleeding risks associated with prolonged therapy.
- - The model, tested on data from several clinical trials, indicated that 84.5% of participants could safely receive a shorter 3-month DAPT without significantly increasing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
- - Validation results showed that patients on abbreviated DAPT had a lower incidence of major bleeding compared to those on the standard 12-month DAPT, highlighting the effectiveness of personalized therapy in improving patient outcomes.
