Small randomized trials have shown short-term improved outcome with drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare metal stent (BMS) in saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions by reducing in-stent restenosis and target vessel revascularization (TVR). It is not clear, however, if these benefits are maintained long term. The aim of this study is to compare the outcome in a larger cohort of patients undergoing SVG stent implantation with DES or BMS, at 2 years.
From among 250 patients who underwent SVG stenting, 225 patients with available follow-up were selected from data bases at the three participating institutions. One-hundred-six patients had DES (sirolimus, paclitaxel or tacrolimus eluting stent) and 119 patients had any available BMS from April 2002 to December 2006. The primary endpoint was MACE rate, a combination of cardiac death, S-T elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and target lesion revascularization. Secondary end points were the individual components of the primary endpoint. Follow-up was obtained by mailed interviews or telephone calls and review of the hospital chart.
The DES and BMS groups had similar age (71 +/- 8 years vs. 70 +/- 7 years, P = 1.0), diabetes (45% vs. 36%, P = 0.3), history of MI (58% vs. 51%, P = 0.6), EF (44% vs. 47%, P = 0.2) and previous PCI (40% vs. 35%, P = 0.4). Reference vessel diameter (3.15 +/- 0.5 mm vs. 3.5 +/- 0.5 mm. P = 0.001) and stent size (3.3 +/- 0.4 mm vs. 3.9 +/- 0.5 mm, P = 0.001) were smaller in the DES group; however, the BMS were longer (24 +/- 10 mm vs. 21 +/- 6 mm, P = 0.05). At one year there was a trend (P = 0.1) for lower MACE rate in the DES group, but at two years there was no difference in MACE free survival between the DES and BMS groups (81 % vs. 82%, P = 0.9). The death rate was similar (6% each) with three patients having STEMI (two in the DES and one in the BMS). TVR was also similar (14% in each group).
In patients undergoing treatment of SVG disease with a stent, the marginal benefit of DES seen at 1 year was lost at 2-year follow-up.
小型随机试验表明,在隐静脉搭桥术(SVG)干预中,药物洗脱支架(DES)较裸金属支架(BMS)可通过减少支架内再狭窄和靶血管重建(TVR)在短期内改善预后。然而,这些益处能否长期维持尚不清楚。本研究的目的是比较在更大队列的接受SVG支架植入术的患者中,使用DES或BMS在2年时的预后情况。
在250例行SVG支架置入术的患者中,从三个参与机构的数据库中选取225例有可用随访资料的患者。2002年4月至2006年12月期间,106例患者使用DES(西罗莫司、紫杉醇或他克莫司洗脱支架),119例患者使用任何可用的BMS。主要终点是主要不良心血管事件(MACE)发生率,包括心源性死亡、ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)和靶病变血管重建的综合情况。次要终点是主要终点的各个组成部分。通过邮寄访谈、电话随访和查阅医院病历获得随访资料。
DES组和BMS组在年龄(71±8岁 vs. 70±7岁,P = 1.0)、糖尿病(45% vs. 36%,P = 0.3)、心肌梗死病史(58% vs. 51%,P = 0.6)、射血分数(EF)(44% vs. 47%,P = 0.2)和既往经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)(40% vs. 35%,P = 0.4)方面相似。DES组的参考血管直径(3.15±0.5 mm vs. 3.5±0.5 mm,P = 0.001)和支架尺寸(3.3±0.4 mm vs. 3.9±0.5 mm,P = 0.001)较小;然而,BMS更长(24±10 mm vs. 21±6 mm,P = 0.05)。1年时,DES组的MACE发生率有降低趋势(P = 0.1),但2年时,DES组和BMS组的无MACE生存率无差异(81% vs. 82%,P = 0.9)。死亡率相似(均为6%),有3例患者发生STEMI(DES组2例,BMS组1例)。TVR也相似(每组均为14%)。
在接受SVG疾病支架治疗的患者中,1年时DES的边际益处在2年随访时消失。
