Abstract

Aims: We aimed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the STENTYS self-apposing paclitaxeleluting stent (STENTYS-PES) in bifurcation lesions in routine clinical practice. Methods and results: The primary endpoint of the study was the composite major adverse cardiac events (MACE: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, clinically driven target lesion revascularisation, or emergent bypass surgery) assessed at six months after enrolment. This was reported in 21 patients (10.1%), mainly due to clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR). At 12 months, 27 patients experienced MACE (13.0%). Conclusions: The long-term results of OPEN II show that the STENTYS-PES is safe and effective in the treatment of all-comers with coronary bifurcation lesions.
