Stent-Related Adverse Events as Related to Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in First- vs Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents

2021 
Abstract Background There are limited data on the long-term stent-related adverse events as related to the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in second-generation (G2) drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with first-generation (G1) DES. Objectives This study sought to compare the long-term stent-related outcomes of G2-DES with those of G1-DES. Methods The study group consisted of 15,009 patients who underwent their first coronary revascularization with DES from the CREDO-Kyoto PCI/CABG (Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto Percutaneous Coronary Intervention/Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) Registry Cohort-2 (first-generation drug-eluting stent [G1-DES] period; n = 5,382) and Cohort-3 (second-generation drug eluting stent [G2-DES] period; n = 9,627). The primary outcome measures were definite stent thrombosis (ST) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). Results The cumulative 5-year incidences of definite ST and TVR were significantly lower in the G2-DES group than in the G1-DES group (0.7% vs 1.4%; P  Conclusions G2-DES compared with G1-DES were associated with a significantly lower risk for stent-related adverse events, including definite ST and TVR. DAPT beyond 1 year was associated with a significantly lower risk for very late ST of G1-DES but not for that of G2-DES.
