OBJECTIVES: To evaluate outcome of patients undergoing sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) as compared to bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation during primary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND: The role of SES in primary percutaneous coronary intervention setting is still debated. METHODS: We searched Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, scientific session abstracts, and relevant Websites for studies in any language, from the inception of each database until October 2008. Only randomized clinical trials with a mean follow-up period >6 months and sample size >100 patients were included. Primary endpoint for efficacy was target-vessel revascularization (TVR) and primary endpoint for safety was stent thrombosis. Secondary endpoints were cardiac death and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI). RESULTS: Six trials were included in the meta-analysis, including 2,381 patients (1,192 randomized to SES and 1,189 to BMS). Up to 12-month follow-up, TVR was significantly lower in patients treated with SES as compared to patients treated with BMS (4.53% vs. 12.53%, respectively; odds ratio [OR] 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.24-0.46; P < 0.00001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of stent thrombosis (3.02% vs. 3.70%, OR = 0.81 [95% CI, 0.52-1.27], P = 0.81), cardiac death (2.77% vs. 3.28%, OR = 0.84 [95% CI, 0.52-1.35], P = 0.47), and recurrent MI (2.94% vs. 4.04%, OR = 0.71 [95% CI, 0.45-1.11], P = 0.13) between the two groups. CONCLUSION: SES significantly reduces TVR rates as compared to BMS in STEMI patients up to 1 year follow-up. Further studies with larger population and longer follow-up time are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate outcome of patients undergoing sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) as compared to bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation during primary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND: The role of SES in primary percutaneous coronary intervention setting is still debated. METHODS: We searched Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, scientific session abstracts, and relevant Websites for studies in any language, from the inception of each database until October 2008. Only randomized clinical trials with a mean follow-up period >6 months and sample size >100 patients were included. Primary endpoint for efficacy was target-vessel revascularization (TVR) and primary endpoint for safety was stent thrombosis. Secondary endpoints were cardiac death and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI). RESULTS: Six trials were included in the meta-analysis, including 2,381 patients (1,192 randomized to SES and 1,189 to BMS). Up to 12-month follow-up, TVR was significantly lower in patients treated with SES as compared to patients treated with BMS (4.53% vs. 12.53%, respectively; odds ratio [OR] 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.24-0.46; P < 0.00001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of stent thrombosis (3.02% vs. 3.70%, OR = 0.81 [95% CI, 0.52-1.27], P = 0.81), cardiac death (2.77% vs. 3.28%, OR = 0.84 [95% CI, 0.52-1.35], P = 0.47), and recurrent MI (2.94% vs. 4.04%, OR = 0.71 [95% CI, 0.45-1.11], P = 0.13) between the two groups.
