Background Several studies compared everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffolds (EE-BRS) with everolimus-eluting stents (EES), but only few assessed these devices in patients with diabetes mellitus. Aim To evaluate the safety and efficacy outcomes of all-comer patients with diabetes up to 2 years after treatment with EE-BRS or EES. Methods We performed a post-hoc pooled analysis of patient-level data in diabetic patients who were treated with EE-BRS or EES in 3 prospective clinical trials: The ABSORB DM Benelux Study (NTR5447), TWENTE (NTR1256/NCT01066650) and DUTCH PEERS (NTR2413/NCT01331707). Primary endpoint of the analysis was target lesion failure (TLF): a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction or clinically driven target lesion revascularization. Secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiac events (MACE): a composite of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction or clinically driven target vessel revascularization, as well as definite or probable device thrombosis (ST). Results A total of 499 diabetic patients were assessed, of whom 150 received EE-BRS and 249 received EES. Total available follow-up was 222.6 patient years (PY) in EE-BRS and 464.9 PY in EES. The adverse events rates were similar in both treatment groups for TLF (7.2 vs. 5.2 events per 100 PY, p=0.39; adjusted hazard ratio (HR)=1.48 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.77-2.87), p=0.24), MACE (9.1 vs. 8.3 per 100 PY, p=0.83; adjusted HR=1.23 (95% CI: 0.70-2.17), p=0.47), and ST (0.9 vs. 0.6 per 100 PY, p>0.99). Conclusion In this patient-level pooled analysis of patients with diabetes mellitus from 3 clinical trials, EE-BRS showed clinical outcomes that were quite similar to EES.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
