Popis: OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at evaluating reduction in intimal hyperplasia volume following angioplasty using sirolimus-eluting stents (Cypher™) compared with thin-strut bare-metal stents (Pixel™) in patients with small vessels. METHODS: Eighty patients with coronary artery disease were prospectively included in two consecutive series, the first using sirolimus-eluting stents (50) and the second using bare-metal stents (30). RESULTS: The use of sirolimus-eluting stents reduced: in-stent net volume obstruction [5.0% (SE = 0.77) x 39.0% (SE = 4.72), p < 0.001], in-stent late loss [0.25 mm (SE = 0.03) x 1,11 mm (SE = 0.13), p < 0,001], in-segment late loss [0.30 mm (SE = 0.04) x 0.83 mm (SE = 0.11), p < 0.001], in-stent restenosis (0% x 33.3%, p < 0.001) and in-segment restenosis (4% x 36.7%, p < 0.001). The event-free survival rate was 96% in the sirolimus-eluting stent group versus 86.7% in the bare-metal stent group (BMS) (p = 0.190). CONCLUSION: Sirolimus-eluting stents are superior to thin-strut bare-metal stents in reducing intimal hyperplasia (less in-stent obstruction and less late lumen loss) in patients with small vessels. The use of these stents significantly reduced angiographic restenosis at eight months.
