A first-in-man study of sirolimus-eluting, biodegradable polymer coated cobalt chromium stent in real life patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite considerable benefits associated with current drug-eluting stents, continued attention to the safety, efficacy, and deliverability of available drug-eluting stent has led to the development of newer stent.

Methods

This study was a single-centre, prospective, non-randomized, first-in-man study which included clinical follow-up data was collected at 1, 8 and 12 months after the procedure. The study included 105 patients with de novo native coronary artery lesions including multi-vessel disease treated with Supralimus-Core® stent. Repeat angiography was performed 8 months post-stent implantation.

Results

At quantitative coronary angiography 8-month luminal late loss was 0.39 ± 0.33 mm in-stent and 0.33 ± 0.35 mm in-segment. The incidence of any major
