Sicilian DES Registry: prospective in-hospital and 9-month clinical and angiographic follow-up in selected high restenosis risk patients

Abstract: Drug-eluting stents appear to be safe and associated with a low incidence of MACE at 9-month follow-up, even in patients selected for their complexity.

“…The extensive angiographic follow-up, although it is known to accentuate the rates of repeat revascularization compared with clinical follow-up alone [11], has provided important findings on the actual performance of the new device even in asymptomatic patients, showing a significant late loss and very high rate of TLR and binary restenosis, which were different from those reported for other unselected populations undergone to DES implantation [1][2][3]12].…”

“…Another important aspect to note is the lack of data from the Brazilian population, whose own cultural and social characteristics influence the adherence to treatment, besides the fact that its genetic composition differs from populations assessed in the large registries of the United States and Europe. [3][4][5][6] The aim of the present study was to evaluate the initial and late events of a non-selected cohort of patients undergoing DES implantation, comparing diabetic and non-diabetic patients.…”

“…Thus, since the benefit of DES is higher in patients at high risk of restenosis, the difference in cost-effectiveness of DES versus BMS could be overestimated, urging us to be cautious when we extend these findings out of their context. For example, a statistical analysis of unpublished data from the Sicilian DES registry 11 with the use of decisional models reached a different result, with evidence of a substantial economic benefit of DES, especially in patients who otherwise would be candidates for CABG.…”
