Real-world experience with a novel biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent: twelve-month results of the BIOFLOW-III registry

EuroIntervention. 2016 Feb;11(10):1106-10. doi: 10.4244/EIJY15M03_08.

Abstract

Aims: We aimed to assess the safety and performance of a novel sirolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer under real-world conditions.

Methods and results: This prospective, multicentre, observational, all-comers registry enrolled 1,356 patients. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure at 12 months: it occurred in 5.1% (95% CI: 4.0-6.4) of patients in the overall population and in 7.7% (95% CI: 5.5-10.9), 5.8% (95% CI: 4.2-8.1), 1.8% (95% CI: 0.2-11.8) and 7.2% (95% CI: 5.1-10.0) of patients with diabetes mellitus, small vessels, chronic total occlusion and acute myocardial infarction, respectively.

Conclusions: This novel stent platform demonstrated good clinical outcomes in an all-comers population, even in predefined high-risk groups. ClinialTrials.gov identifier: NCT01553526
