Lesion impacts on long-term outcomes in patients implanted with bioresorbable vascular scaffold

Background: Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) had been implanted to several kinds of complex coronary lesions in real-world practice. We tested if long-term outcomes of BVS for complex lesions would be worse than that for relatively simple lesions. Methods: We analyzed 457 patients (59 ± 12 year...

description Background: Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) had been implanted to several kinds of complex coronary lesions in real-world practice. We tested if long-term outcomes of BVS for complex lesions would be worse than that for relatively simple lesions. Methods: We analyzed 457 patients (59 ± 12 years, 87% male) with 714 BVS implanted for their 529 lesions and median follow-up of 32.7 (26.8–39.3) months. Complex group (N = 284) was defined as those with BVS for acute coronary syndrome, chronic total occlusion, bifurcation/ostial lesions, instent restenosis/hybrid with metallic stents, diffuse lesions (overlapped by 2 BVS with each ≧ 18 mm), venous graft/left main lesions, or lesions after rotablation. We compared their outcomes with the remaining 173 patients as non-complex group. Results: The complex group had more chronic kidney disease (7% vs. 2%), multivessel disease (78% vs. 65%), use of intravascular imaging (40% vs. 23%), and more BVS (1.8 ± 0.9 vs. 1.1 ± 0.3) with longer total lengths (47 ± 22 vs. 29 ± 8 mm) implanted than non-complex group (all p < 0.05). However, the long-term target lesion revascularization (TLR) or target lesion failure (TLF) was similar (log rank p > 0.05) between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed BVS for ACC/AHA type C lesions was independently associated with higher risks of TLR (hazard ratio: 2.7, 95% CI = 1.1–6.6) and TLF (hazard ratio: 2.6, 95% CI = 1.1–6.3). Conclusion: Comparable outcomes were found between BVS for complex and non-complex lesion category. However, higher risks of TLR and TLF for type C lesions still suggested the prognostic impact of lesion complexity on long-term outcomes of BVS.
