Objectives
In this substudy of the SORT OUT VII trial, the clinical outcomes among patient with diabetes mellitus treated with Orsiro sirolimus‐eluting stent (O‐SES; Biotronik, Bülach, Switzerland) or Nobori biolimus‐eluting stent (N‐BES; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) were compared.
Background
Diabetes is associated with increased risk of target lesion failure (TLF) after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods
In total, 2525 patients were randomized to stent implantation with O‐SES (n = 1261, diabetes: n = 236) or N‐BES (n = 1264, diabetes: n = 235). The primary endpoint, TLF, was a composite of cardiac death, target‐lesion myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR) within 2 years.
Results
At 2 year, TLF did not differ between O‐SES vs N‐BES in diabetic (9.3% vs 9.4%; RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.54–1.78) patients. The individual components of the primary endpoint did not differ among stent type. In diabetics, cardiac death occurred in 3% of O‐SES‐treated and in 3.8% of N‐BES‐treated patients (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.29–2.08), MI occurred in 3.0% of O‐SES‐treated and in 3.8% of N‐BES‐treated patients (RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.28–2.06) and TLR occurred in 5,5% of O‐SES‐treated and in 6.0% of N‐BES‐treated patients (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.43–1.95).
Conclusion
TLF did not differ between O‐SES‐ and N‐BES‐treated diabetic patients.
