Abstract
Background
Drug-eluting stents (DES) have substantially reduced target vessel revascularization (TVR) after percutaneous coronary interventions. Risk factors for clinical events need to be redefined with this treatment option.
Methods and results
In the prospective DES.DE registry, baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics as well as in-hospital and follow-up events were recorded for all enrolled patients. Between October 2005 and May 2009, 21,774 patients receiving DES were enrolled at 98 DES.DE sites. The composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke defined as major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and TVR were predefined as primary endpoints. At 1-year follow-up rates for overall death, MI, stroke, MACCE, TVR and definite stent thrombosis were 2.7, 3.1, 1.4, 7.1, 11.5 and 0.6 %, respectively. Aside from well-known risk factors like age, diabetes mellitus and triple-vessel disease, stratification in patients with or without MACCE revealed atrial fibrillation, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, renal failure, impaired ejection fraction and peripheral vascular disease as strong predictors of MACCE at 1 year.
Conclusion
Data collected in the DES.DE registry, reflecting the clinical practice in Germany, revealed favorable clinical outcomes after DES implantation in a real world setting but also identifying several high-risk populations.
