This study investigated the differences in clinical outcomes between patients with bifurcation lesions (BL) treated with a biolimus-eluting stent (BES) with a biodegradable polymer, and a sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) with a durable polymer.
The clinical outcomes were assessed in the 497 patients (BES 258, SES 239) enrolled in the multicentre, randomised LEADERS trial who underwent treatment of ≥1 BL (total=534 BL). At 12-months follow-up there was no significant difference in the primary endpoint of MACE, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and clinically indicated target vessel revascularisation (BES 12.8% vs. SES 16.3%, p=0.31). Patients treated with BES had comparable rates of cardiac death (BES 2.7% vs. SES 2.9%, p=1.00), numerically higher rates of myocardial infarction (BES 8.9% vs. SES 5.4%, p=0.17), and significantly lower rates of clinically indicated target vessel revascularisation (4.3% vs. 11.3%, p=0.004) when compared to those treated with SES. The rate of stent thrombosis at 12-months was 4.3% and 3.8% for BES and SES, respectively (p=0.82).
In the treatment of BL the use of BES lead to superior efficacy and comparable safety compared to SES.
本研究旨在探讨使用具有生物可降解聚合物的雷帕霉素洗脱支架(BES)和具有持久聚合物的西罗莫司洗脱支架(SES)治疗分叉病变(BL)患者的临床结局差异。
在多中心、随机 LEADERS 试验中,共纳入 497 例(BES 258 例,SES 239 例)接受≥1 个 BL 治疗(共 534 个 BL)的患者,评估了临床结局。在 12 个月随访时,主要终点 MACE(心脏死亡、心肌梗死和临床指征靶血管血运重建的复合)无显著差异(BES 为 12.8%,SES 为 16.3%,p=0.31)。BES 治疗组的心脏死亡发生率(BES 为 2.7%,SES 为 2.9%,p=1.00)、心肌梗死发生率(BES 为 8.9%,SES 为 5.4%,p=0.17)与 SES 治疗组相比具有可比性,而临床指征靶血管血运重建发生率(BES 为 4.3%,SES 为 11.3%,p=0.004)显著降低。12 个月时支架血栓形成的发生率分别为 BES 组 4.3%和 SES 组 3.8%(p=0.82)。
在 BL 的治疗中,与 SES 相比,BES 的使用可带来更好的疗效和相似的安全性。
