摘要
Background: In the Intracoronary Stenting and Angiographic Results: Test Efficacy of 3 Limus-Eluting Stents (ISAR-TEST-4) trial, we demonstrated the noninferiority of biodegradable polymer (BP) sirolimus-eluting stent to permanent polymer (PP) sirolimus/everolimus-eluting stent (Cypher/Xience-V) on the basis of clinical outcomes. In this study, we compare the antirestenotic efficacy of these stents in ISAR-TEST-4 patients with paired angiographic studies. Methods: Patients with de novo coronary lesions in native vessels (excluding left main lesions) were randomly assigned to receive a BP stent or a PP stent. Endpoints of interest of this study were in-stent late lumen loss, in-segment binary restenosis, and restenosis morphology at 6-8-month follow-up angiogram. Results: Of the 2,603 patients (3,372 lesions) enrolled in ISAR TEST-4 trial, 2,016 patients (2,637 lesions) underwent repeat angiographic examination 6-8 months after randomization: 1,006 patients (1,323 lesions) treated with BP stents and 1,010 patients (1,314 lesions) treated with PP stents. No difference was observed between BP and PP stents in in-stent late lumen loss (0.24 +/- 0.6 vs. 0.26 +/- 0.5 mm, respectively, P = 0.49) or in in-segment binary restenosis (11.6% [153 lesions] vs. 11.8% [155 lesions], P = 0.85). Focal pattern of restenosis was observed in the majority of patients receiving either BP or PP stents. The diffuse pattern of restenosis was observed in 26.8% of patients treated with BP stent and 26.5% of patients treated with PP stent (P = 0.79). Conclusion: Angiographic characteristics of restenosis after BP-based limus-eluting stents are similar to those of PP-based limus-eluting stents.
