Three-year clinical outcomes of the novel sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold for the treatment of de novo coronary artery disease: A prospective patient-level pooled analysis of NeoVas trials.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of the novel NeoVas sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) for the treatment of de novo coronary artery disease. BACKGROUND: The long-term safety and efficacy of the novel NeoVas BRS are still needed to be elucidated. METHODS: A total of 1103 patients with de novo native coronary lesions for coronary stenting were enrolled. The primary endpoint of target lesion failure (TLF) was defined as a composite of cardiac death (CD), target vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI), or ischemia-driven-target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR). RESULTS: A three-year clinical follow-up period was available for 1,091 (98.9%) patients. The cumulative TLF rate was 7.2% with 0.8% for CD, 2.6% for TV-MI, and 5.1% for ID-TLR. Additionally, 128 (11.8%) patient-oriented composite endpoint and 11 definite/probable stent thromboses (1.0%) were recorded. CONCLUSIONS: The extended outcomes of the NeoVas objective performance criterion trial demonstrated a promising 3-year efficacy and safety of the NeoVas BRS in low-risk patients with low complexity in terms of lesions and comorbidities.
