Since the first reported use of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), advances in the interventional cardiology arena have been fast-paced. Within the last 10 years, these developments have been exponential. Developers and clinicians are fast adapting from the learning curve awarded by the time-course of drug-eluting stent (DES) evolution. The BioMime™ sirolimus-eluting coronary stent is a new step towards a biomimicry concept. The stent is built on an ultra-low strut thickness (65µm) cobalt–chromium stent platform using an intelligent hybrid of close and open cells allowing for morphology-mediated expansion, and employs a well-known antiproliferative – sirolimus – that elutes from a biodegradable co-polymer formulation in 30 days and ensures high coating integrity and a low coating thickness of 2µm. The resultant stent demonstrated almost 100% endothelialisation at 30 days in pre-clinical models and 0% major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at six months in the primary efficacy and safety clinical study.
