Event Description
|
A journal article titled - treating very long coronary artery lesions in the contemporary drug-eluting-stent era: single long 48 mm stent versus two overlapping stents showed comparable clinical outcomes - was submitted for review.This study aimed to compare the two-year clinical outcomes between 48 mm single long contemporary drug eluting stents (des) versus two overlapping contemporary des in the treatment of very-long coronary artery disease (cad).The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (tlf) at two years, defined as a composite of cardiac mortality, target vessel myocardial infarction (mi), and target lesion revascularization (tlr).Additional endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events (mace); defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, mi, or ischemia driven tlr, definite and probable stent thrombosis (st), and the individual components of tlf and mace.Deaths not attributable to another cause were considered cardiac deaths.A total of 117 patients were treated with single long 48 mm single long des (sl-des) versus 101 patients treated with two overlapping contemporary des (ol-des).All the patients in sl-des group received a non-medtronic (mdt) stent, while patients assigned to the ol-des group received either medtronic resolute integrity des or other non-mdt des.Events of tlf, mace and their individual components was seen in both the sl-des and ol-des study groups at two years.There were two cases of sudden cardiac death that categorized as probable st (one in each treatment group) without angiographic confirmation.
