Gray et al 2023 - five-year results from the imperial randomized study of eluvia and zilver ptx drug-eluting stents and the long lesion sub-study for femoropopliteal artery disease.Methods: patients with symptomatic stenotic lesions (rutherford category 2-4) were enrolled in the prospective.Imperial rct (2:1 randomized, single-blind, noninferiority, global, multicenter, n=465) and long lesion sub-study (single-arm study of eluvia, n=50).Effectiveness (primary patency) and safety, including clinically driven target lesion revascularization (cd-tlr), major amputation, and mortality rates were evaluated through 5 years.Results: overall, 75.7% (296/391) of evaluable rct patients completed 60-month clinical follow-up.The cd-tlr rate was 29.3%for patients treated with eluvia vs 34.2% for zilver ptx (p=0.3540).Among patients undergoing cd-tlr, mean time to the first event was longer for patients treated with eluvia; this was significant through 3 years (581 +/- 273days vs 414 +/- 234 days, difference 166 days; p=0.0058) with a nonsignificant difference through 5 years (737 +/- 427 days vs 645 +/- 488 days, difference 92 days; p=0.3099).Target limb major amputation rates did not differ significantly between groups (3.4% for eluvia and 2.6% for zilver ptx; p>0.99).All-cause mortality was 20.3% for eluvia and 19.2% for zilver ptx (p¼0.7862).Kaplan-meier (km) primary patency estimates were 69.6% and 67.4% for patients treated with eluvia and zilver ptx, respectively, at 60 months (log-rank p=0.4764).In the long lesion substudy, the 5-year cd-tlr rate was 42.9% (15/35) with mean time to first cd-tlr 876 days (95%ci 630, 1122 days).No major amputations occurred.The km estimate of primary patency at 60 months was 51.7%, and 5-year mortality was 31.0% (13/42).This file will capture 1.6% of 391 patients with a loss of patency not treated by tlr.
