Conclusions

  • Orsiroultrathin struts DES outperformed Xience DP-EES at 1-year and sustained performance up to 5 years:
    • 20% lower Target Lesion Failure (p = 0.136)
    • 36% significantly lower Target Vessel Myocardial Infarction (p = 0.021)
    • 23% lower Ischemia-Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (p = 0.223) 
    • 22% lower Cardiac Death/Myocardial Infarction (p = 0.121)
  • Orsiroshowed a 0.7% definite/probable Stent Thrombosis rate overall through 5 years: 64% lower compared to Xience.
    • 83% significantly lower late/very late definite/probable Stent Thrombosis (p = 0.021)

Study design

Prospective, multi-center, 2:1 randomized controlled IDE trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of Orsiro in the treatment of patients with up to three de novo or restenotic lesions (standard PTCA only).

Endpoints

Primary Endpoints
Target Lesion Failure (TLF) at 12 months follow-up defined as the composite of:
• Cardiac Death
• Target Vessel-Myocardial Infarction (TV-MI)
• Ischemia-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)

Secondary Endpoints
• Components of the primary endpoint
• MACE as a composite of all-cause death, MI or ischemia-driven TLR
• Target Vessel Failure (TVF) and individual TVF components
• Stent Thrombosis (all, definite, definite/probable, probable, possible ST)Δ

◊ Acute coronary syndrome defined as subjects with unstable angina or any elevated cardiac enzymes at baseline (any pre-procedure CK, CK-MB or troponin out of normal range)
§ There were no statistically significant differences between groups except for variable denoted by (§). Multivariable analysis of TLF, TV-MI and TLR confirmed no clinical, angiographic or procedural characteristic that differed between group was identified as a predictor of adverse outcome.
