Background In comparison with BMS, DES are associated with a small excess of late events occurring more than one year after intervention * The pathological substrate underlying these events is delayed arterial healing and inflammatory response to DES permanent polymer coatings
Dual-DES: Rapamycin – probucol – natural resin No polymer Microporous stainless steel stent platform developed in the settings of the ISAR-Project supported by the Bayerische Forschungsstiftung 100 µm 10 µm Zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES): (Endeavor Resolute stent) BioLinx polymer system Co-Cr alloy stent platform Avoidance or modifications of polymer stent coatings offer potential to improve arterial healing and decrease late adverse events Background

Composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction target lesion revascularization at 1-year post index PCI Primary Endpoint
Secondary Endpoints All cause mortality All cause mortality Incidence of definite/probable stent thrombosis Incidence of definite/probable stent thrombosis at 1-year post index PCI In-segment binary restenosis In-segment binary restenosis In-stent late luminal loss In-stent late luminal loss at follow-up angiography
Sample Size Calculation Hypothesis: Rapamycin/Probucol-eluting stent (Dual-DES) is not inferior to zotarolimus-eluting stent (Endeavor Resolute) in terms of device-oriented major adverse cardiac events Assumptions: Incidence of primary endpoint in both groups 10% Margin of non-inferiority 3% Power of 80% One-sided -level of 0.05 Random sequence 2:1 Needed total # of patients: 3000 (accounting for possible losses at follow-up)

Summary Out to 12 months polymer-free rapamycin/probucol- eluting stent is non-inferior to the permanent polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stent in a large- scale study powered for clinical endpoints. Their performance was comparable with regard to hard clinical endpoints – stent thrombosis, death or MI – as well as clinical and angiographic parameters of restenosis.
