Objectives

The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) (Medtronic Cardiovascular, Santa Rosa, California) with Xience V everolimus-eluting stents (EES) (Abbott Vascular Devices, Santa Clara, California) at 1-year follow-up.

Background

Only 1 randomized trial previously compared these stents.

Methods

This investigator-initiated, patient-blinded, randomized noninferiority study had limited exclusion criteria (acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions not eligible). Patients (n = 1,391; 81.4 % of eligible population) were randomly assigned to ZES (n = 697) or EES (n = 694). Liberal use of stent post-dilation was encouraged. Cardiac biomarkers were systematically assessed. The primary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF), a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction not clearly attributable to non-target vessels, and clinically indicated target-vessel revascularization. An external independent research organization performed clinical event adjudication (100 % follow-up data available). Analysis was by intention-to-treat.

Results

Acute coronary syndromes were present in 52 % and ¡°off-label?feature in 77 % of patients. Of the lesions, 70 % were type B2/C; the post-dilation rate was very high (82 % ). In ZES and EES, TVF occurred in 8.2 % and 8.1 % , respectively (absolute risk-difference 0.1 % ; 95 % confidence interval: ?.8 % to 3.0 % , pnoninferiority = 0.001). There was no significant between-group difference in TVF components. The definite-or-probable stent thrombosis rates were relatively low and similar for ZES and EES (0.9 % and 1.2 % , respectively, p = 0.59). Definite stent thrombosis rates were also low (0.58 % and 0 % , respectively, p = 0.12). In EES, probable stent thrombosis beyond day 8 was observed only in patients not adhering to dual antiplatelet therapy.

Conclusions

Resolute ZES were noninferior to Xience V EES in treating ¡°real-world?patients with a vast majority of complex lesions and ¡°off-label?indications for drug-eluting stents, which were implanted with liberal use of post-dilation.
