Two‐year outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug‐eluting stents or bare‐metal stents in elderly patients with coronary artery disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions Sep 01, 2020

Lafont A, Sinnaeve PR, Cuisset T, et al. - Given that a 29% attenuation in the rate of all‐cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and ischaemia‐driven target lesion revascularization at 1 year was reported in relation to treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug eluting stent (DES) and a short span of P2Y12 inhibitor (1 and 6 months for stable and unstable coronary syndromes, respectively) vs bare metal stents (BMS) in the SENIOR trial, this present study was undertaken to report results at 2 years. In a randomized manner, 596 [50%] patients were assigned to the DES group and 604 [50%] to the BMS group. According to the findings, a reduction in revascularization up to 2 years, along with very few late events and without any increase in bleeding complications or stent thrombosis, was afforded by a strategy combining a DES together with a short duration of DAPT vs BMS in elderly PCI patients.
