Key result
Indolimus sirolimus-eluting stent shows ~3% target lesion failure at 9 months in CTO lesions.
Why the study?
Clinical outcomes of biodegradable polymer coated sirolimus-eluting stents in patients with chronic total occlusion in real clinical practice were not well established.
Does Indolimus sirolimus-eluting stent implantation improve clinical outcomes in patients with chronic total occlusion?
Observational (n=170)
Yes
Does Indolimus sirolimus-eluting stent implantation improve clinical outcomes in patients with chronic total occlusion?
In real-world clinical practice, treatment of chronic total occlusion with the Indolimus biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent demonstrated a low 9-month target lesion failure rate of 2.9% and no stent thrombosis.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes in patients with chronic total occlusion treated with Indolimus, biodegradable polymer coated sirolimus-eluting stent, in real clinical practice. Methods: We evaluated clinical outcomes in 170 patients, who underwent successful recanalization of chronic total occlusion with Indolimus between April-2012 and June-2014. During 9-month, primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), a miscellany of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), target lesion revascularization(TLR) and target vessel revascularisation. We considered stent thrombosis as a clinical outcome parameter. Results: The mean age was 50.7 years and 142(83.5%) patients were predominantly male. The average stent length and diameter were 30.8

Pamidimukkala et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) (n=170). Indolimus sirolimus-eluting stent was evaluated on Target lesion failure (TLF) at 9 months. Treatment of chronic total occlusion with the Indolimus sirolimus-eluting stent resulted in a cumulative target lesion failure rate of 2.9% at 9-month follow-up.
