24 Paclitaxel vs. Everolimus eluting stents 2 years follow up of the SPIRIT III Trial 669 lesions with EES vs. 333 with PES Treatment with Everolimus stent resulted in a trend toward fewer re-interventions (TLR), fewer MIs and reduction in the composite of death/mi (4.8% vs. 8.1%, relative risk: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36 to 0.99, p=0.055) Stone G. et al Randomized Comparison of Everolimus-Eluting and Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents.

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. 2009;2: IVUS for ULMCA 3 year follow up of the MAIN-COMPARE Registry 756 pts with IVUS guidance vs. 219 pts without in 145 matched pairs of patients with DES the mortality was lower with IVUS guidance as compared with angiography guidance (4.7% versus 16.0%, log-rank p=0.048; hazard ratio, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.15 to 1.02; Cox model p=0.055) The risk of MI or TVR was not associated with the use of IVUS guidance

Eur Heart J 2009; 30(17): Distal Left Main: The challenge Registry involving 19 centres in Italy at 2 year follow-up 777 pts with distal LMCA vs. 334 pts without Survival free from MACE was 72% in distal LMCA group vs. 80% (p=0.03), due to higher TLR rate (19% in distal LMCA vs. 8%, p=0.0003) 5 patients had a definite stent thrombosis (4 had distal LMCA lesion), 4 were subacute and 1 late.

Registry involving 19 centres in Italy at 2 year follow-up 456 pts treated with 1 stent vs. 317 pts wuth 2 stents The propensity adjusted hazard ratio for 2 year risk of MACE was 0.53 (95% CI: ) in favor of the 1 stent group The propensity adjusted hazard ratio for 2 year risk of cardiac mortality + MI was also in favor of the 1 stent group: 0.38 (95% CI: )

30 The EXCEL Trial (Xience Prime stent vs. CABG) Pts with LMCA disease and Syntax score <33 Primary end point: Death/MI/CVA (2600 pts/3 years fu/124 centres in 17 countries) IVUS strongly encouraged Direct stenting discouraged Provisional SB stenting encouraged Angiographic fu NOT permitted!

31 CONCLUSIONS First generation DES are at least as effective as CABG for LMCA disease with low/intermediate Syntax scores Practice Guidelines both in Europe and USA have evolved to incorporate the new data There are still technical issues to be answered, especially in distal LMCA involvement
