Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyBiodegradable Polymer Biolimus-Eluting Stents Versus Durable Polymer Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Final 5-Year Report From the COMPARE II Trial (Abluminal Biodegradable Polymer Biolimus-Eluting Stent Versus Durable Polymer Everolimus-Eluting Stent).
This analysis investigates the 5-year outcomes of the biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stent (BP-BES) and durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES) in an all-comers population undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. ⋯ The 5-year analysis comparing biodegradable polymer-coated BES and the durable polymer-coated EES confirms the initial early- and mid-term results regarding similar safety and efficacy outcomes in this all-comers percutaneous coronary intervention population.

Randomized Controlled TrialExtended Duration Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Stenting Among Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Subanalysis of the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Study.
This study sought to determine whether patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) experience different reductions in ischemic event and increases in bleeding events with extended duration dual antiplatelet therapy versus those without PAD. ⋯ Among patients undergoing coronary stenting, those with PAD have more ischemic and bleeding events versus those without PAD. Extended duration dual antiplatelet therapy is associated with consistent ischemic benefit and bleeding harm among patients with and without PAD.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparison of Durable-Polymer Zotarolimus-Eluting and Biodegradable-Polymer Biolimus-Eluting Coronary Stents in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: 3-Year Clinical Outcomes in the Randomized SORT OUT VI Trial.
The authors sought to compare the safety and efficacy of the biocompatible durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent with the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent in unselected coronary patients. ⋯ At 3-year follow-up, the durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent and the biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stent were similar in clinical outcome, with no significant difference in safety and efficacy outcomes, including stent thrombosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyRandomized Multicenter Trial Investigating Angiographic Outcomes of Hybrid Sirolimus-Eluting Stents With Biodegradable Polymer Compared With Everolimus-Eluting Stents With Durable Polymer in Chronic Total Occlusions: The PRISON IV Trial.
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the hybrid ultrathin-strut sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) with biodegradable polymer compared with the thin-strut everolimus-eluting stent (EES) with durable polymer in successfully recanalized chronic total occlusions (CTOs). ⋯ This randomized trial failed to show noninferiority of hybrid SES relative to EES in terms of in-segment late lumen loss in successfully recanalized CTOs. Furthermore, a statistically significantly higher rate of binary restenosis was found with SES.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyRandomized Comparison of Oral P2Y12-Receptor Inhibitor Loading Strategies for Transitioning From Cangrelor: The ExcelsiorLOAD2 Trial.
This randomized trial tested whether early loading with prasugrel can provide sufficient platelet inhibition even when given at the start of a 2-h infusion of cangrelor. ⋯ Prasugrel 60 mg given at the start of a 2-h infusion of cangrelor can provide a sufficient platelet inhibition post-cangrelor. This approach prevents the transient gap in platelet inhibition seen with oral loading after discontinuation of cangrelor. (Impact of Extent of Clopidogrel-Induced Platelet Inhibition during Elective Stent Implantation on Clinical Event Rate - Advanced Loading Strategies [ExcelsiorLOAD2]; DRKS00009739).
