Abstract
- Aims: In the PANDA III trial, the novel poly-lactide-co-glycolide polymer-based BuMA sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) was non-inferior to the polylactide polymer-based Excel SES for the primary endpoint of one-year target lesion failure (TLF), with a lower incidence of stent thrombosis. We sought to investigate whether the effectiveness profile of BuMA SES, with more rapid drug elution and polymer absorption kinetics, would persist at two years.<br />Methods and Results: A total of 2,348 patients (mean age, 61.2±10.6 years; 24.3% diabetics; 31.2% with acute myocardial infarction within one month) were randomly assigned to receive either BuMA SES (n=1,174) or Excel SES (n=1,174) in the "all-comer" PANDA III trial. Two-year clinical follow-up was available for 2,262 (96.3%) patients. The incidence of TLF and the patient-oriented composite endpoint (PoCE) was low and similar between the BuMA and Excel groups (7.4% vs. 6.9%, p=0.67, and 13.1% vs. 10.9%, p=0.11, respectively). The rate of any revascularisation was significantly higher with the BuMA SES (6.8% vs. 4.6%, p=0.03). Definite and probable thrombosis occurred in 0.7% and 1.4% of patients in the BuMA and Excel groups, respectively (p=0.10).<br />Conclusions: Two-year rates of TLF and PoCE events were low and similar between the two biodegradable polymer-based SES.
