Yasumura K, Shutta R, Matsunaga-Lee Y, et al. - Researchers compared angioscopic results among SYNERGY biodegradable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stent (BP-EES), ULTIMASTER biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES), and XIENCE Alpine durable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES) 8 months following stent implantation. This study involved patients who received implantation of BP-EES (n = 30), BP-SES (n = 26), or DP-EES (n = 21), with similar patient and lesion features. In three groups, there was no significant difference in dominant grade of neointimal coverage (NIC) and maximum yellow plaque grade. The three groups showed no significant difference in the major adverse cardiac events 1 year following coronary angioscopic assessment. Overall, similar favorable NIC at 8 months after stent implantation was conferred by BP-EES, BP-SES, and DP-EES, as revealed by coronary angioscopic findings.
