Long-term clinical outcome after implantation of
second-generation bare-metal stents
Keyvan Yousefnejad1, Safoora Masoumi2
ABSTRACT
Objective: Many clinical studies have been performed to determine the long-term outcome of coronary Stenting, most of them were based on first-generation bare-metal Stents. This study evaluated long-term (24 6.4 month) result of second-generation bare metal stents (BMS).
Methodology: A consecutive series of 128 patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) treated electively with second generation bare metal stents between august 2004 and September 2006 was included. Clinical outcome were analyzed after (24±6.4) months. The Primary end point was based on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events of MACE (MI, Death, and Repeat Revascularization).
Results: One hundred and forty four bare metal stent were implanted in 134 Vessels. The Mean age of patients was (57±10.4) years, 72% of patients were male and 35.2% were diabetic with 98.4% in-hospital success rate. Thirteen (10.3%) patients had MACE during Follow-Up Period (4MI, 3CABG, 2Death and 4R-PCI). Independent Predictor of MACE was Unstable Angina.
Conclusion: Our study showed second generation bare-metal stents is superior to the first one due to better survival rate and lower incidence of MACE.
