| Abstract | BACKGROUND The sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) is currently the sole drug-coated stent approved for use in Japan, but there are few reports on its safety and outcomes in Japan. METHODS AND RESULTS From May 2004 to February 2005, a total of 297 patients with 402 lesions were treated with SES at 6 hospitals in the Kansai district. Follow-up angiography was performed in 82% of the patients and 80% of the lesions at 182+/-35 days after stenting. Coronary stenosis was evaluated using quantitative coronary angiography. Clinical and angiographic data were analyzed. Minimum lesion diameter was 0.75+/-0.52 mm and the reference diameter was 2.81+/-0.47 mm before stenting. The SES successfully dilated 99.5% of the lesions with few major adverse cardiac events. Restenosis occurred in 4.0% and the target lesion revascularization rate was 3.7%. Restenosis correlated with chronic hemodialysis, calcification, occlusion, ostial lesions, lesions kinked>45 degrees, right coronary artery (RCA) lesions and lesions at the ostium of the RCA. CONCLUSION SES demonstrated a high rate of successful implantation with few complications, and mid-term outcomes were excellent. Patients with lesions at the ostium of the RCA or under chronic hemodialysis developed restenosis. |
