Clinical Impact of Lesion Complexity on 2-Year Outcomes After Zotarolimus-Eluting Stents Implantation.


ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical efficacy and safety of second-generation drug-eluting stents in complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are not well established.

Objectives

The clinical influence of the lesion complexity after PCI with zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) was evaluated.

Methods

From a prospective multicenter observational study, a total of 926 patients that underwent successful PCIs with ZES were included. Complex PCIs were defined as patients with ≥3 lesions treated, 3 vessels treated, severe calcified lesions, bifurcated lesions with 2 stents implanted, left main disease, chronic total occlusion lesions, and/or diffuse long (total stent length ≥60 mm) lesions and were compared to the noncomplex group. The primary outcome was incidence of target lesion failures at 2 years, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target lesion-myocardial infarctions, and target lesion revascularization.

Results

The patients were divided into complex PCI (n = 249) and noncomplex (n = 677) groups. In the complex PCI group, the 2-year risk of a target lesion failure was not significantly higher than in the noncomplex PCI group (4.8% vs 3.7%; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.373; 95% confidence interval: 0.689-2.738; P = 0.367). The same trend was observed for all composites of the clinical outcomes. Older age and advanced chronic kidney disease were independent predictors for the primary outcome.

Conclusions

Up to 2 years after a ZES implantation, the clinical outcomes did not differ according to lesion complexity.
