[In-hospital and remote results of the use of sirolimus coated coronary stent CYPHER].

Stents were implanted to 554 previously non-revascularized patients in 703 injured coronary segments; 32% of stented stenoses were complicated; 23% of patients received 2-4 stents. Immediate success was 100% with no cases of acute stent thrombosis. Rate of in-hospital subacute thrombosis and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was 0.2%. Survival without restenosis, angina, myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization during follow up (mean duration 257+/-107 days) was 94%, restenosis rate -- 5.6%. Six patients with in-stent restenosis were successfully revascularized. All 108 patients followed for 27 months were alive by the end of this term.
