Evaluation of prolonged safety and efficacy of biodegradable polymer coated sirolimus-eluting coronary stent system: 1-year outcomes of the INDOLIMUS Registry.

BACKGROUND

The main aim is to evaluate prolonged safety and efficacy of the Indolimus (Sahajanand Medical Technologies Pvt. Ltd.) sirolimus-eluting coronary stent system.

METHODS

It was a single center, non randomized, retrospective registry. Out of total 530 patients involved in the INDOLIMUS Registry, follow-up of 523 patients were obtained at 1-year The primary end-point of this was major adverse cardiac events, which is a composite of cardiac death, target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis, at 1-year follow-up.

RESULTS

Cardiac death, target lesion revascularization and myocardial infarction at 1-year were reported in 19 (3.6%), 2 (0.4%), and 2 (0.4%) patients respectively, while stent thrombosis was reported in 1 (0.2%) patient. The resultant major adverse cardiac events at 1-year were reported to be 24 (4.5%).

CONCLUSIONS

The lower incidence of MACE in uncontrolled and more complex cohorts at 1-year follow-up clearly depicts the prolonged safety and efficacy of the Indolimus sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) system.
