Persistent Inhibition of Neointimal Hyperplasia After Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation

Abstract: Background-Early results of sirolimus-eluting stent implantation showed a nearly complete abolition of neointimal hyperplasia. The question remains, however, whether the early promising results will still be evident at long-term follow-up. The objective of our study was to evaluate the efficiency of sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for up to 2 years of follow-up. Methods and Results-Fifteen patients with de novo coronary artery disease were treated with 18-mm sirolimus-eluting Bx-Velocity stents (Cordis) l… Show more

“…This is the first randomized, controlled trial of a drug-eluting stent to demonstrate sustained safety and efficacy up to 3 years. These findings, taken in conjunction with the previously reported angiographic and intravascular ultrasound studies of the sirolimus-eluting stents at earlier time points in RAVEL and SIRIUS, 10,11 and the uncontrolled angiographic and intravascular ultrasound observations made up to 2 years after implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents for de novo coronary stenoses, 20,21 and up to 1 year after treatment of in-stent restenosis, 22 confirm that neointimal hyperplasia is effectively suppressed over the long term by sirolimus without interfering with normal reendothelialization. Taken together, these results should dispel the theoretical concerns regarding the long-term biocompatibility of the drug-carrying polymer or other unexpected processes promoting delayed inflammatory, hyperplastic, or thrombotic complications with this particular device.…”

“…Two-year data have also been reported for the 15 patients from The Netherlands. 177 Within the following 2 years there were no additional events in these patients except that two had undergone significant lesion progression in a site remote from the sirolimuseluting stent and which required further intervention. Angiography showed no significant change in the stent minimal luminal diameter or percentage diameter stenosis compared with earlier angiography.…”
