Retrospective analysis within the BENESTENT-l trial has shown that patients having a "stent-like" result after standard PTCA had angiographic and clinical outcomes similar to those of patients receiving a stent. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a "stent-like" PTCA strategy in native coronary arteries in non-selected patients. From our data base, 503 consecutive patients who underwent successful PTCA or stent supported PTCA were stratified according to a target lesion length15 mm, a reference vessel diameteror = 2.5 mm, and a postprocedural residual stenosis30%. After stratification, 132 patients with "stent-like" PTCA, and 88 with single stent implantation were compared on two-year clinical outcomes. Two-year event-free survival rate was 70% in the "stent-like" PTCA group, and 83% in the stent group (p = 0.022). Stent-like PTCA is associated with a higher restenosis rate and higher adverse events rate as compared to single stent supported PTCA, whatever the indication for stenting. |
