Treatment with 48-mm everolimus-eluting stents

Abstract: The Xience 48-mm EES device appears to be safe and efficacious with a low clinical event rate at the 12-month follow-up. Where feasible, this would support the use of the ultra-long 48-mm platform in lieu of multiple overlapping shorter devices.

“…There were no additional cardiac deaths or the occurrent of very late ST. Acknowledging the limitations of comparing trials, the event rates in previous studies align with those observed in EVOLVE 48; although the rate of ST appears to be lower in patients treated with 48 mm SYNERGY stent 3,24,25 …”

“…Also, procedure and fluoroscopy time were lower with the use of very long stents, and required less contrast volume 3 . A single center study evaluating the performance of 48 mm Xience Expedition durable polymer EES showed favorably low incidence of major adverse cardiac events (3.3%) and ST (1.3%) at 1‐year 24 . Two‐year TLF rate in an observational registry for patients treated with a single long 48 mm Xience Expedition stent was 5.3% and probable ST was 0.9% 25 .…”

“…21,22 The outcomes of the 48 mm-EES were previously reported in two studies based on a single-center experience and concluded good safety and efficacy over 1-year. 23,24 Our findings are | 185 assess the performance of the 48 mm-EES in a wider range of use. This translated into a slightly higher TLF rate at 1 year in our study (5.3% vs.…”

“…Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation is the most widely used treatment strategy for coronary artery disease (CAD). Moreover, current generation drug-eluting coronary stents (DES) have remarkable features to improve the clinical outcomes of PCI [1]. However, treatment of long diffused lesions is still a challenge for interventional cardiologists, especially in tapered coronary arteries where the vessel diameter discrepancies may warrant using more than one stent for a long lesion.…”

“…The strategies adopted for treatment of long diffused lesions in tapered arteries include the use of either multiple stents or a single long stent, both of which are associated with clinical failure due to the potential risk of mechanical mismatch of stent size [1, 4, 5]. Multiple short stents with variable diameters are often implanted (overlapping) to match the size of the long-tapered lesions adequately.…”
