We performed this study to investigate the vascular response in early period after zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) (Endeavor Sprint, Medtronic CardioVascular, Minneapolis, Minnesota) implantation.
The ZES has different characteristics, with biocompatible polymer and rapid drug-elution, compared with the first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES).
The ENDEAVOR OCT (Evaluation in 3 Months Duration of Neointimal Coverage after Zotarolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation by Optical Coherence Tomography) trial is a prospective, single-center study evaluating vascular healing patterns with optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 3 months after stent implantation. A total of 31 ZES in 30 patients underwent serial OCT at immediate post-intervention and 3 months. Neointimal growth and malapposition were analyzed at each stent strut of cross-sectional OCT images with 0.5-mm intervals.
The incidence of malapposition at post-intervention and 3 months was 6.0% and 0.2%, respectively. However, late acquired malapposition was not detected at 3 months. Of 31 stents, 27 stents (87.1%) were covered completely with neointima, but the remaining 4 stents had 2 (0.8%), 4 (0.9%), 4 (1.2%), and 6 (1.4%) uncovered struts. Overall mean percentage of covered stent struts was 99.9 +/- 0.4%. This finding was consistent among groups with acute coronary syndrome and stable angina pectoris (99.9 +/- 0.3% vs. 99.9 +/- 0.4%, p = 0.92). Intracoronary thrombus was documented in 1 stent (3.2%) among 31 stents.
Most of the stent struts were covered with neointima, and late acquired malapposition was not found at 3 months after ZES implantation. Therefore, the current study demonstrated that ZES might have a favorable in vivo vascular response at 3 months after stent implantation.

我们进行这项研究旨在探究在新型西罗莫司洗脱支架( Endeavor Sprint,美敦力心血管,明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯)植入早期的血管反应。
与第一代药物洗脱支架(DES)相比,新型 ZES 具有生物相容性聚合物和快速药物洗脱的特点。
ENDEAVOR OCT(光学相干断层扫描评价西罗莫司洗脱支架植入后 3 个月内新生内膜覆盖情况)试验是一项前瞻性、单中心研究,通过光学相干断层扫描(OCT)在支架植入后 3 个月评估血管愈合模式。共有 30 例患者的 31 个 ZES 进行了即刻介入后和 3 个月的连续 OCT 检查。在每一个支架的横断面 OCT 图像上以 0.5mm 的间隔分析新生内膜的生长和贴壁不良情况。
即刻介入和 3 个月时贴壁不良的发生率分别为 6.0%和 0.2%。然而,在 3 个月时并未发现迟发性贴壁不良。31 个支架中,27 个支架(87.1%)完全被新生内膜覆盖,但其余 4 个支架有 2(0.8%)、4(0.9%)、4(1.2%)和 6(1.4%)个未覆盖的支架。总的来说,覆盖的支架支架比例为 99.9%±0.4%。这一发现在急性冠脉综合征和稳定性心绞痛患者中是一致的(99.9%±0.3% vs. 99.9%±0.4%,p=0.92)。31 个支架中有 1 个(3.2%)支架发现了冠状动脉内血栓。
大多数支架支架被新生内膜覆盖,在 ZES 植入后 3 个月时未发现迟发性贴壁不良。因此,本研究表明,ZES 在支架植入后 3 个月时可能具有良好的体内血管反应。(光学相干断层扫描评价西罗莫司洗脱支架 3 个月的疗效[ENDEAVOR OCT];NCT00815139)。
