RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the 3-year outcomes of patients treated with Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation. BACKGROUND: Randomized trials and observational registries performed in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention have demonstrated higher 1-year and midterm rates of device thrombosis and adverse events with BVS compared to contemporary drug eluting stent. Data on long-term follow-up of patients treated with BVS are scarce. METHODS: All patients treated with BVS were included in a large nationwide prospective multicenter registry (FRANCE ABSORB). The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization at 3 years. Secondary endpoints were 3-year scaffold thrombosis and target vessel revascularization (TVR). RESULTS: Between September 2014 and April 2016, 2070 patients were included (mean age 55 ± 11 years; 80% men). The indication was acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in 49% of patients. At 3 years, the primary endpoint occurred in 184 patients (8.9%) and 3-year mortality in 43 patients (2.1%). Scaffold thrombosis and TVR rates through 3 years were, respectively, 3 and 7.6%. In a multivariable analysis, independent predictors of primary endpoint occurrence were diabetes, oral anticoagulation, active smoking, absence of initial angiographic success and the association of a total BVS length ≥30 mm with the use of 2.5 mm diameter BVS. CONCLUSIONS: Although 3-year mortality was low in this ACS population, device-related events were significant beyond 1 year. Total BVS length and 2.5 mm BVS were associated with higher rates of MACE at long-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Randomized trials comparing the first-generation absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) with a drug-eluting stent showed a moderate but significant increase in the rate of 3-year major adverse cardiac events and scaffold thrombosis, followed by a decrease in adverse events after 3 years. AIM: The objective of this study was to assess the 5-year outcomes of patients treated with at least one absorb BVS and included in the FRANCE ABSORB registry. METHODS: All patients treated in France with an absorb BVS were prospectively included in a large nationwide multicentre registry. The primary efficacy outcome was the occurrence of 5-year major adverse cardiac events. Secondary efficacy outcomes were the rates of 5-year target vessel revascularization and definite/probable scaffold thrombosis. RESULTS: Between September 2014 and April 2016, 2,070 patients were included in 86 centres (mean age 55±11 years; 80% men; 49% with acute coronary syndrome). The rates of 1-, 3- and 5-year major adverse cardiac events were 3.9%, 9.4% and 12.1%, respectively (including cardiac death in 2.5% and target vessel revascularization in 10.4%). By multivariable analysis, diabetes, oral anticoagulation, the use of multiple Absorb BVSs and the use of a 2.5mm diameter absorb BVS were associated with 5-year major adverse cardiac events. The rates of 1-, 3- and 5-year definite/probable scaffold thrombosis were 1.5%, 3.1% and 3.6%, respectively. By multivariable analysis, older age, diabetes, anticoagulation at discharge and the use of a 2.5mm diameter absorb BVS were associated with 5-year scaffold thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS: Absorb BVS implantation was associated with low rates of 1-year major adverse cardiac events, which increased significantly at 3-year follow-up. There was a clear decrease in the rates of scaffold thrombosis and major adverse cardiac events after 3 years.

BACKGROUND: Several randomized studies have shown that bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) technology is associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. AIM: This study aimed to assess the rates of adverse outcomes at 1 year in patients treated with the Absorb BVS (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA), using data from a large nationwide prospective multicentre registry (FRANCE ABSORB). METHODS: All patients receiving the Absorb BVS in France were included prospectively in the study. Predilatation, optimal sizing and postdilatation were recommended systematically. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization at 1 year. Secondary endpoints were scaffold thrombosis and target vessel revascularization at 1 year. RESULTS: A total of 2072 patients at 86 centres were included: mean age 55±11 years; 80% men. The indication was acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in 49% of cases. Predilatation and postdilatation were done in 93% and 83% of lesions, respectively. At 1 year, the primary endpoint occurred in 3.9% of patients, the rate of scaffold thrombosis was 1.5% and the rate of target vessel revascularization was 3.3%. In a multivariable analysis, diabetes and total Absorb BVS length>30mm were independently associated with the occurrence of the primary endpoint, whereas oral anticoagulation and total Absorb BVS length>30mm were independently associated with occurrence of scaffold thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS: The Absorb BVS was implanted in a relatively young population, half of whom had ACS. Predilatation and postdilatation rates were high, and 1-year outcomes were acceptable.

The low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) enoxaparin and dalteparin have shown superior and equivalent efficacy, respectively, over unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). This study aimed to identify markers of blood cell activation that are independent predictors of outcomes at 1 month and to compare the effects of enoxaparin, dalteparin, and UFH on any such markers. In this multicenter, prospective, open-label study, 141 patients with UAP or NSTEMI were randomized to treatment for 48 to 120 hours with enoxaparin (n = 46), dalteparin (n = 48), or UFH (n = 47). Blood samples were taken at the time of randomization and after > or =48 hours of treatment but before catheterization. Multivariate analysis identified increased plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and decreased platelet levels of glycoprotein Ib/IX complexes as independent predictors of 1-month adverse outcome (a composite of death, myocardial infarction, and recurrent ischemia). vWF release was strongly related to and may have been released by inflammation as measured by C-reactive protein. Both LMWHs reduced the release of vWF in plasma (as well as C-reactive protein) compared with UFH. Enoxaparin had a more favorable effect on glycoprotein Ib/IX complexes than either dalteparin or UFH. The incidence of the composite clinical efficacy end point was: 13% (enoxaparin), 19% (dalteparin), and 28% (UFH). vWF and its receptor glycoprotein Ib/IX play a key role in acute coronary syndromes. vWF is linked to inflammation and, like glycoprotein Ib/IX, is affected more favorably by the LWMHs than by UFH.
