Background Stent thrombosis (ST) remains a safety concern following drug eluting stent (DES) use, particularly with first generation DES Second generation DES, including the everolimus-eluting stent (EES), were designed to improve DES safety while maintaining efficacy Whether or not the novel design features of the EES results in lower ST has not been fully explored Baber et al, JACC 2011
Methods We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the EES to other (comparator) DES. MEDLINE, Cochrane library databases searched using keywords “everolimus”, “Xience V”, “Promus” and “stent thrombosis”. Major conference proceedings also searched and PI’s of trials contacted to provide additional data. Baber et al, JACC 2011
Methods Primary endpoint was Academic Research Consortium definite or probable ST. Secondary endpoints included cardiac mortality, target vessel revascularization and myocardial infarction. Pooled treatment effect obtained using random effects model. Heterogeneity of treatment effect and publication bias also evaluated. Additional analyses performed to assess consistency of effect and associations with baseline risk. Baber et al, JACC 2011

Meta-Analysis Characteristics 13 trials reported from 2009 to 2011 n= 17,097 patients ( 9737 EES vs 7337 control ) – Male 72%, DM 26%, ACS 44%, Complex lesions 39% F/U duration 9-48 months (mean 20.8) Clopidogrel duration 6-12 months Adequate statistical power to detect a 35% RRR in comparison to a control event rate of 1.5% Baber et al, JACC 2011

ST Regression Analysis Non everolimus-eluting drug eluting stent ST rate, % Risk Difference, % R 2 =0.89, p<0.001 Sirolimus eluting stent Zotarolimus eluting stent Paclitaxel eluting stent Baber et al, JACC 2011
Limitations Lack of patient-level data Second generation DES comparator in one study alone Unable to explore timing of ST with respect to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) cessation
Conclusions The EES is associated with large reduction in ARC definite or probable ST. Concordant reductions in TVR and MI. Benefits increase in dose-dependent fashion with greater baseline risk. In accordance to the baseline ST risk within each subgroup, risk reduction greatest against PES, intermediate against ZES and smallest against SES. Baber et al, JACC 2011
