Background: There are few studies which compare the efficacy and safety of the Resolute Onyx zotarolimus-eluting stent (O-ZES) and everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therefore, the present study aimed to compare clinical outcomes of O-ZES and EES in patients with AMI undergoing successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: From January 2016 to December 2016, the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR) enrolled 3,364 consecutive patients. Among them, O-ZES was used in 402 patients and EES was used in 1,084 patients. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), as defined by composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI), and ischemic driven-target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR) at 6 month clinical follow-up.
Results: At 6 months, the incidence of TLF was not significantly different between O-ZES and EES group (4.0% vs. 3.9%, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.17, 95% confidential interval [CI] 0.58-2.35, p = 0.665). O-ZES also showed similar results of cardiac death (3.7% vs. 3.4%, adjusted HR 1.25, 95% CI 0.59-2.63, p = 0.560), TV-MI (0.2% vs. 0.6%, adjusted HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.07-4.85, p = 0.600), ID-TLR (0.0% vs. 0.3%, p = 0.524), and definite or probable stent thrombosis (0.2% vs. 0.3%, adjusted HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.06-6.41, p = 0.696) when compared with EES.
Conclusions: The present study shows that implantation of O-ZES or EES provided similar clinical outcomes with similar risk at 6-month of TLF and definite/probable ST in patients with AMI undergoing successful PCI.
