Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This is a review on prospective randomized comparisons of PTCA and stents in the treatment of de novo native coronary artery lesions. BENESTENT and STRESS, two multicentric studies, used the articulated Palmaz-Schatz stent. In Lausanne, a single center trial limited to right coronary artery lesions, was conducted using the Wiktor stent. During the in-hospital phase. BENESTENT and STRESS showed the composite clinical end point to be less in the stent than in the PTCA groups (p < 0.05). In Lausanne, there was no difference between groups. The incidence of subacute closure was similar with both treatments in three trials. Angiographically, both postprocedural minimal luminal diameter (MLD) and percentage stenosis were larger in the stent group (P < 0.05). At 6 months, in both BENESTENT and STRESS, a composite clinical end point was reached by less stent patients than PTCA patients, with a reduced need for repeat nonsurgical reintervention by stenting. However, in Lausanne, there was no difference between stent and PTCA groups. At 6 months in both BENESTENT and STRESS, a persistent lower MLD, a larger percentage of stenosis, and a higher incidence of angiographic restenosis were found in the PTCA groups (P < 0.05). In Lausanne, no differences in MLD, percentage stenosis and angiographic restenosis were found between groups. Effective stenting of de novo lesions does improve immediate results compared to conventional balloon PTCA. The long-term outcome of stenting with Palmaz-Scharz stents is also improved compared to PTCA.
