Objectives

The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the implantation of Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) (Medtronic Inc., Santa Rosa, California) and Xience V everolimus-eluting stents (EES) (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) following strict discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after 12?months.

Background

Only limited long-term follow-up data are available from head-to-head comparisons of second-generation drug-eluting stents.

Methods

The randomized TWENTE (The Real-World Endeavor Resolute Versus Xience V Drug-Eluting Stent Study in Twente) trial is an investigator-initiated study performed in a population with many complex patients and lesions and only limited exclusion criteria. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to ZES (n?= 697) or EES (n?= 694).

Results

Two-year follow-up information was available on all patients. The rate of continuation of DAPT beyond 12 months was very low (5.4 % ). The primary endpoint of target vessel failure, a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization, did not differ between ZES and EES (10.8 % vs. 11.6, p?= 0.65), despite fewer target lesion revascularizations in patients with EES (2.6 % vs. 4.9 % , p?= 0.03). The patient-oriented composite endpoint was similar (16.4 % vs. 17.1 % , p?= 0.75). Two-year rates of definite or probable stent thrombosis were 1.2 % and 1.4 % , respectively (p?= 0.63). Very late definite or probable stent thrombosis occurred only in 2 patients in each study arm (0.3 % vs. 0.3 % , p?= 1.00).

Conclusions

After 2 years of follow-up and stringent discontinuation of DAPT beyond 12 months, Resolute ZES and Xience V EES showed similar results in terms of safety and efficacy for treating patients with a majority of complex lesions and off-label indications for drug-eluting stents.
