Cardiovascular disease is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Treatment in most patients is percutanseous coronary intervention. One of new generation drug-eluting stent (DES) is Sirolimus Eluting Stent. The current study was aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and complications of treatment with supraflex stent during one year follow up in patients with coronary artery disease. This cross-sectional study was performed on patients with myocardial ischemia who were candidate for coronary angioplasty between 2017 -2018 in Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Patients were followed for four primary end points including Target lesion revascularization (TLR), stent thrombosis (ST), myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiac death (CD) for one year. Descriptive data were analyzed by Freidman at a significance level of 0.05. A total of 287 patients were enrolled in the study. There was no TLR, MI, ST and CD records in the one month follow up. Six months follow up demonstrated three TLR patients and three MI patients, but no ST and death were reported. After one year follow up, three cases of CD and four ST cases were found in patients treated with supraflex stent. Based on the Freidman test, the highest rate of TLR was revealed in a six-month follow-up when comparing with one-month and twelve-month follow-up (p = 0.05). No significant relationship was found between the other cases. The most common complications associated with supraflex stent were TLR and MI in six-month follow-up. The most likely occurrence of CD and ST were found in one year follow up.

Abstract Introduction Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with left main (LM) coronary artery disease is acquiring an important role in the last years as an alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in selected patients. The objective of the study was to evaluate predictors of mortality in patients with LM coronary artery disease treated with PCI. Methods Prospective and observational study of consecutive patients referred to our centre for coronary angiography, with LM coronary artery disease, whom PCI was decided in a “Heart team” as a strategy for revascularization between July 2015 and December 2017. Baseline clinical, analytical and coronary angiography data were collected. Follow-up was conducted in person or by telephone for a minimum of one year. We analysed the predictive variables of mortality by means of an uni and multivariate logistic regression model. In addition, a survival analysis was performed. Results A total of 191 patients were recruited. The average age was 72 years (±11.4), 79% males. 42% had previous documented coronary artery disease. PCI was performed in the context of acute coronary syndrome in 81% of them. The mean follow-up period was 17.9 months (± 8.3). After multivariate analysis, the following variables remained as independent predictors of mortality: the hemodynamic situation of the patient, assessed by the Killip-Kimball scale (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.03–2.43; p=0.04) and the presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.03–6.67; p=0.04) (table 1). The ROC curve of the multivariate model showed an AUC of 0.796 (figure 1A). In the survival analysis, patients with PAD had a significantly lower survival, with a median survival of 6 months, compared to 13.9 months in those without PAD, with p=0.008 (figure 1B). Uni and multivariate analysis Univariate analysis Multivariate analysis OR (95% CI) p OR (95% CI) p Killip-Kimbal scale 1.94 (1.39–2.72) 0 1.58 (1.03–2.43) 0.04 LVEF 0.96 (0.93–0.99) 0.01 0.99 (0.95–1.03) 0.46 Mitral regurgitation 2.54 (1.12–5.63) 0.02 1.60 (0.55–4.56) 0.38 Number of affected vessels 1.96 (1.24–3.29) 0.01 1.78 (1.03–3.37) 0.05 PAD 2.54 (1.16–5.49) 0.02 2.61 (1.03–6.67) 0.,04 Figure 1 Conclusion Although PCI revascularization of LM coronary artery disease is an attractive alternative to CABG in selected patients, a word of caution should be raised in patients with PAD, as in the present study this variable was an important predictor of short-medium term mortality.
