Abstract

Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to assess the clinical outcome of Abluminus DES in patients with small vessels. Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of small coronary vessel (≤2.75 mm) associated with more chances of restenosis and repeat revascularization even when drug eluting stent employed. Methods A total of 2,500 patients enrolled in en-ABL e-registry which is a prospective, multicentre observational post market registry. Out of 2,500 patients, 1,253 patients had small vessel (SV, ≤2.75 mm) while 1,247 had large vessel (LV, >3mm) disease. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) which is composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infraction (TV-MI) and target lesion/vessel revascularization (TLR) at 1 year follow up. The secondary endpoint were stent thrombosis and MACE up to 2 years. Results Baseline characteristics were well matched in both groups. In the SV group had higher prevalence of diabetes as compared to large vessel 43.0% vs 25.7%. Total 1,400 lesions treated with 1,612 Abluminus DES and 1,569 lesions treated with 1,675 Abluminus DES in SV and LV groups respectively. The mean diameter of stent was 2.61±0.23 and 3.3±0.3 mm in SV and LV groups respectively. There was a significant difference in MACE in treatment groups (3.7% vs. 1.4%, p=0.004 respectively) at 1 year. No significant differences were observed between SV and LV groups in terms of death/myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis. There were increment of only one TLR and no stent thrombosis reported at 2-year follow-up. Conclusion This result suggests the efficacy and safety of novel Abluminus DES in small vessel disease.
