This study aimed to explore the factors influencing the drug-eluting stent (DES) selection criteria of cardiologists in association with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) volumes and to determine whether they value further DES improvements and modifications. The survey was conducted on a group of cardiologist operators from April 10 to 30, 2023. The analysis included 126 operators who answered the questions. Of these, low-, intermediate-, and high-volume operators accounted for 49 (38.9%), 47 (37.3%), and 30 (23.8%), respectively. Overall, Xience™ everolimus-eluting stent (CoCr-EES) was most frequently used, with > 70% of cardiologists using it in > 20% of their PCI practice. The percentage of selection by low-, intermediate-, and high-volume operators among the DESs used demonstrated no difference, except for dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting and CD34+ antibody-coated Combo® stent (DTS). Logistic regression analysis revealed that low-volume operators are less likely to be affected in terms of company/sales representative (odds ratio (OR): 0.402, P = 0.031) and bending lesions (OR: 0.339, P = 0.037) for selecting DES. Low-volume operators less frequently selected Resolute Onyx™ zotarolimus-eluting stents (OR: 0.689, P = 0.043) and DTS (Drug-Eluting Stents) (OR: 0.361, P = 0.006) for PCI. The current study results indicate that patient background, DES performance, and product specifications were not criteria for DES selection in cardiologists with different PCI volumes in routine PCI.
