Consenso de especialistas (SBC/SBHCI) sobre o uso de stents farmacológicos: recomendações da sociedade brasileira de cardiologia/sociedade brasileira de hemodinâmica e cardiologia intervencionista ao sistema único de saúde

Abstract: The authors review percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) evolution and its growing application in myocardial revascularization for patients with coronary heart disease in Brazil and worldwide. PCI was introduced in 1977 using only the catheter balloon. Limitations of this method (acute occlusion and coronary restenosis) led to the adoption of coronary stents and more recently the advent of drug-eluting stents 2

“…Despite the recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology, a significant percentage of patients are still treated with bare-metal stents. The National Health System has not yet incorporated the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) 3. Thus, bare-metal stents are the only option for percutaneous coronary interventions performed in our public health care system.…”

“…In view of the recommendation of guidelines 1,3 for the use of DES in diabetics, with level of evidence A and indication class II, these patients were grouped in a special subgroup to assess if the recommendations for stent placement are being followed during coronary angioplasty. A total of 199 diabetic patients were seen in the public service; of these, 47.7% had access to PA and, in most interventions (91.3%), bare metal stents were used, while only 8.7% used DES (p < 0.001).…”
