Abstract
The high cost of drug-eluting stents (DESs) has made identification of patients who are at low risk for subsequent revascularization after treatment with bare metal stents (BMSs) highly desirable. Previous reports from randomized trials suffer from biases induced by restricted entry criteria and protocol-mandated angiographic follow-up. Between 1994 and 2001, 5,239 consecutive BMS patients, excluding those with coil stents, technical failure, brachytherapy, staged procedure, or stent thrombosis within 30 days, were prospectively identified from a large single-center tertiary-referral-center prospective registry for long-term follow-up. We sought to identify characteristics of patients with very low (< or = 4%) or low (4-10%) likelihood of coronary revascularization 9 months after BMS. Nine-month clinical follow-up was obtained in 98.2% of patients. Coronary revascularization was required in 13.4% and did not differ significantly by stent type. On the basis of multivariate analysis identifying 11 independent correlates and previous reports, 20 potential low-risk patient and lesion groups (228 +/- 356 patients/groups) were identified (e.g, patients with all of the following: native vessel, de novo, reference diameter > or = 3.5 m...Continue Reading
