Abstract

BackgroundThe Orsiro is a hybrid stent which has passive (amorphous silicon carbide) and active (poly‐L‐lactic acid, PLLA) coatings. The first layer encapsulates the stent struts, promoting lower local inflammation, whereas the second layer releases sirolimus through a biodegradable matrix. This study's aim was to compare the results of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with Orsiro and Xience™ V stents (everolimus‐eluting stent) in daily clinical practice. MethodsObservational study in which patients were divided into two groups: those who received only one or more Orsiro stents, and those who received only XienceTM V stents. Early and late outcomes were prospectively collected. ResultsBetween September 2012 and March 2014, this study included 92 and 108 patients treated with Orsiro and Xience™ V stents, respectively. Clinical, angiographic, and procedure characteristics were mostly similar between groups. Rates of procedure success (98.9% vs. 95.4%; p = 0.22), in‐hospital mortality (1.1% vs. 0%; p = 0.40) and stent thrombosis (0% vs. 0.9%, p = 0.30) did not differ between groups. Time of follow‐up was 434 ± 111 and 477 ± 66 days (p = 0.23), respectively, and differences in mortality (0.9% vs. 0%, p = 0.30), stent thrombosis (0% vs. 0.9%; p = 0.30), or need for repeat revascularization of the target lesion (0% vs. 0.9%; p = 0.30) were not observed. ConclusionsOrsiro and Xience™ V stents showed similar performance, with low rates of early and late clinical and angiographic events.
