Comparison of Different Types of Drug-Eluting Stents for De Novo Long Coronary Artery Lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention for diffuse long lesions remain relatively unfavorable. Prior clinical trials investigated the relative efficacy and safety of different types of drug-eluting stents (DES) in long lesions.

Objectives

This study sought to compare the relative performance of different types of DES for de novo long (≥25 mm) coronary artery lesions.

Methods

Using a pooled analysis of individual data of 1,450 patients from 3 randomized clinical trials, we compared angiographic and clinical outcomes of 5 different types of DES: 224 patients with cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stents (EES), 255 with platinum-chromium EES, 250 with Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents, 245 with biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stents, and 476
