Abstract

Aims The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of the InspironTM coronary stent (Scitech Medical™, Goiás, Brazil). The InspironTM sirolimus-eluting stent uses an ultrathin L-605 cobalt-chromium alloy with a 75 μm strut thickness platform coated with an abluminal biodegradable polymer. The polymer is eliminated from the body through the tricarboxylic acid cycle in 6–9 months, releasing 80% of the drug within 30 days after its deployment. Methods It was a prospective, single-center registry. To represent clinical practice, all patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were included in this registry. There were no exclusion criteria. Clinical follow-ups were performed at twelve months. The endpoints were the occurrence of all-cause death, definite stent thrombosis, and new revascularization. Results Between November 2017 and May 2019, 790 patients were included (1067 lesions). The mean age was 60.42 ± 14.94 years, and 74.7% presented with acute coronary syndrome. Diabetes mellitus was present in 43.9% of patients, and previous myocardial infarction and previous percutaneous coronary intervention were present in 17.9% and 11.3%, respectively. Angiographic success was achieved in 99.1%. The incidence of all-cause death was 11.5% (6.2% in-hospital and 5.3% in the follow-up) and definitive stent thrombosis was 0.2%. New revascularization was performed in only 5.8% (target lesion revascularization: 2.2%; progression of disease in another lesion: 3.6%). Based on the multivariate regression analysis, only chronic renal failure was an independent predictor of adverse events (OR: 3.3; 95% CI: 1.22–8.92). Conclusion The result of this single-center registry demonstrates the safety and excellent performance of the InspironTM stent in daily clinical practice with a low rate of adverse cardiac events.

Summary

Introduction

A major reduction in the risk of cardiac events has been achieved with new drug-eluting stents (DES). ese stents represented a development of early-generation technology, including polymers with enhanced biocompatibility (permanent or biodegradable), exclusively sirolimus-analogue active drugs, and stents with thin struts (50–100 μm) composed of stainless steel, cobalt chromium, or platinum chromium.

InspironTM was the only stent available in our center during the study. All procedures were performed according to standard techniques [3, 4]. Continuous variables were expressed as means and standard deviations or as the median and the 25th and 75th percentiles, according to the presence or absence of a normal distribution, as evaluated by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Odds ratios (OR) and their respective confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to quantify the effects
