3. BACKGROUND Time-dependent effects for polymers used in drug-eluting stent (DES) technology have been previously described with an early protective effect against stent thrombosis and a late pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic effect. The local reaction to the polymer coating can exacerbate the inflammatory reaction caused by stent implantation, impair endothelialization and lead to increased risk of late ST compared to bare metal stents.

7. METHODS The SCAAR records consecutive patients from all centers (n=29) performing coronary angiography and PCI in Sweden. Information on restenosis or stent thrombosis in any previously implanted stent anywhere in Sweden is requested for all patients undergoing any subsequent coronary angiography for any clinical indication All implanted SYNERGY stents were compared to all new generation DES (n-DES) with more than 1000 implantations in Sweden between March 2013 and October 2015 for all indications including acute coronary syndromes (ACS) Restenosis, ST, death rates were assessed using propensity score and Cox regression analyses. A subgroup analysis for ST up to 1 year was performed in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) including Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), unstable angina (UA)

15. CONCLUSIONS In a large real-world population the SYNERGY stent appears to be safe and effective with a low risk of restenosis and ST comparable with other n-DES. The risk of ST up to 1 year is similarly low also in patients with ACS. The advantages of stent devices with bioabsorbable polymer may become more evident in the longer term follow-up 1 A longer term follow-up in this population might show a larger difference in the risk of the very late stent thrombosis between the SYNERGY stent and the other n-DES Serruys, JACC Interv 2013; 6: 777-89
