Treatment of Ostial Right Coronary Artery Narrowings: Outcomes From the Multicenter Prospective e-ULTIMASTER Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Treatment of right coronary artery (RCA) aorto-ostial (AO) lesions with bare-metal stents and first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) was associated with worse outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of RCA-AO stenting with current-generation DES on the clinical outcome.

Methods

The large all-comer, multicontinental e-ULTIMASTER registry included 37,198 patients of whom 4775 underwent ostial and proximal RCA percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the Ultimaster stent (Terumo). The primary clinical end point was 1-year target lesion failure (TLF), a composite of cardiac death; target vessel-related myocardial infarction; or clinically indicated target lesion revascularization.

Results

We compared 591 (12.4%) patients who underwent RCA-AO P
