Abstract: | BackgroundChinese sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) have been widely used in recent years. However, the comparison of clinical outcomes between Chinese and foreign SES remains unknown.ObjectivesTo compare the outcomes of Chinese SES (Firebird) with foreign SES (Cypher Select) in the treatment of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods4000 consecutive patients treated with SESs from January 2008 to December 2009 were included in this study. Based on the differences of the stents, the patients were divided into a Chinese SES group (Firebird; n = 2008) and a foreign SES group (Cypher Select; n = 1992). Outcomes were monitored for 1 year. The primary clinical endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE): a composite of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and target-vessel revascularisation (TVR).ResultsNo differences were observed in the incidence of MACE (17.8% vs. 18.6%, p = 0.514) and TVR rate (9.0% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.632) during 1-year follow-up.ConclusionsChinese SES and foreign SES have similar effects on 1-year clinical outcomes and safety. |
