Ultrathin, biodegradable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stents for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Final three-year results of the PERFORM-EVER registry

Abstract

The registry reports 3-year safety and clinical performance of the ultrathin strut (60 μm) biodegradable polymer-coated Tetrilimus, an everolimus-eluting stent (EES) (Sahajanand Medical Technologies Limited, India), in ‘real-world’ patients with coronary artery disease. A total of 815 Tetrilimus EES were implanted in 735 lesions in 594 patients. At 3-year follow-up, primary endpoint (target lesion failure, TLF) was reported in 8.6 % patients, including 2.6 % cardiac deaths, 3.5 % myocardial infarction and 2.6 % target lesion revascularization. At three-year, no cases of definite stent thrombosis were reported. The final three-year results of PERFORM-EVER registry endorse the continuous safety and effectiveness Tetrilimus EES.
