The aim of this post hoc analysis of patient-level data from 3 randomized clinical trials is to assess 2-year clinical outcome follo wing percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) with thin-strut new-generation drug-eluting stents (des) in patients treated in proximal left anterior descending artery (p-lad) versus non¿p-lad lesions.The study included 6,037 patients without previous bypass surgery or left main stem involvement from the twente i, ii, and iii randomized trials.A total of 1,607 patients had at least 1 des implanted in p-lad and were compared with 4,430 patients who were exclusively treated in other (non¿p-lad) segments.Two-year follow-up was available in 5,995 patients.Data from all trial participants, except for those who were stented for left main disease or previously had cabg, were analysed.Endeavor resolute and resolute integrity were among a number of stents implanted in the study population.It was stated that generally, dual-antiplatelet therapy was prescribed for 6 to 12 months.The study assessed 2 main composite clinical endpoints: the patient-oriented composite endpoint (poce) (any death, any myocardial in farction [mi], or any repeat revascularization) and the device-oriented composite endpoint target lesion failure (tlf) (cardiac death, target vessel mi, or target lesion revascularization).Clinical outcomes included all-cause deaths, cardiac deaths, target vessel myocardial infarction, any repeat revascularization including target lesion revascularization and definite or probable stent thrombosis.
