Two-year clinical outcome after implantation of sirolimus-eluting and paclitaxel-eluting stents in diabetic patients

Two-year clinical outcome after implantation of sirolimus-eluting and paclitaxel-eluting stents... AimsPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in diabetic patients is associated with an increased risk of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We assessed the impact of diabetes on long-term outcome after PCI with sirolimus-eluting (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting (PES) stents.Methods and resultsIn the SIRTAX trial, 1012 patients were randomized to treatment with SES (n 503) or PES (n 509). A stratified analysis of outcomes was performed according to the presence or absence of diabetes. Baseline characteristics were well balanced between SES and PES in patients with (N 201) and without diabetes (N 811). Clinical outcome was worse in diabetic compared with non-diabetic patients regarding death (9.0 vs. 4.1, P 0.004) and MACE (defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or TLR; 19.9 vs. 12.7, P 0.007) at 2 years. Among diabetic patients, SES reduced MACE by 47 (14.8 vs. 25.8, HR 0.52, P 0.05) and TLR by 61 (7.4 vs. 17.2, HR 0.39, P 0.03) compared with PES at 2 years.ConclusionDiabetic patients have worse prognosis than non-diabetic patients undergoing PCI with DES. Among the diabetic patient population of this trial, SES reduce repeat revascularization procedures and MACE more effectively than PES and to a similar degree as in non-diabetic patients. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Heart Journal Oxford University Press

Abstract

AimsPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in diabetic patients is associated with an increased risk of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). We assessed the impact of diabetes on long-term outcome after PCI with sirolimus-eluting (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting (PES) stents.Methods and resultsIn the SIRTAX trial, 1012 patients were randomized to treatment with SES (n 503) or PES (n 509). A stratified analysis of outcomes was performed according to the presence or absence of diabetes. Baseline characteristics were well balanced between SES and PES in patients with (N 201) and without diabetes (N 811). Clinical outcome was worse in diabetic compared with non-diabetic patients regarding death (9.0 vs. 4.1, P 0.004) and MACE (defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or TLR; 19.9 vs. 12.7, P 0.007) at 2 years. Among diabetic patients, SES reduced MACE by 47 (14.8 vs. 25.8, HR 0.52, P 0.05) and TLR by 61 (7.4 vs. 17.2, HR 0.39, P 0.03) compared with PES at 2 years.ConclusionDiabetic patients have worse prognosis than non-diabetic patients undergoing PCI with DES. Among the diabetic patient population of this trial, SES reduce repeat revascularization procedures and MACE more effectively than PES and to a similar degree as in non-diabetic patients.
