Limitations BIOFLOW-II included patients with relatively simple clinical and angiographic characteristics Patients with AMI, CTO, bifurcation, ostial, SVG, unprotected LM, severely calcified lesions, or lesions with thrombus were excluded BIOFLOW-II was not powered to detect differences in clinical event rates However, an all-comer RCT powered for clinical endpoints directly comparing Orsiro and Xience has completed enrollment
Conclusions In this prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial the ORSIRO sirolimus-eluting stent with a biodegradable polymer was non-inferior to the XIENCE Prime everolimus-eluting stent with durable polymer for the primary angiographic endpoint of in-stent late loss at 9 months Clinical event rates were low and comparable with both ORSIRO and XIENCE Prime through 9 months These results will need to be extended to larger randomized trials powered for clinical endpoints including more complex patients
