Description:

The goal of the trial was to evaluate treatment with the Endeavor-eluting stent compared with a bare-metal stent (BMS) among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for single de novo lesions.

Hypothesis:

PCI with the Endeavor-eluting stent would be associated with a reduction in target vessel failure compared with use of a BMS for treatment of single de novo lesions.

Study Design

Study Design:

Patients Enrolled: 1,197
Mean Follow Up: 9 months
Mean Patient Age: 62 years
Female: 24

Patient Populations:

Symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to single de novo stenotic lesions of native coronary arteries

Primary Endpoints:

Target vessel failure at 9 months

Drug/Procedures Used:

Patients were randomized to the Endeavor-eluting stent (n = 598) versus the Driver BMS (n = 599). In a prespecified manner, the initial 600 patients randomized underwent angiographic follow-up at 9 months.

Concomitant Medications:

Aspirin and clopidogrel for 3 months

Principal Findings:

Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar between the treatment groups, with an average lesion length of 14 mm. Device success (99%) and procedural success (96%) did not differ by treatment group. Culprit artery was the left anterior descending artery in 43% in the Endeavor group and 48% in the BMS group (p = NS).

The primary endpoint of target vessel failure at 9 months was lower in the Endeavor group compared with the BMS group (7.9% vs. 15.1%, p = 0.0001), as was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (7.3% vs. 14.4%, p = 0.0001). There was no difference in death (1.2% vs. 0.5%), Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI) (0.3% vs. 0.9%), or non-Q-wave MI (2.4% vs. 3.1%). Target lesion revascularization was lower in the Endeavor group (4.6% vs. 11.8%, p = 0.0001), as was target vessel revascularization (5.6% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.0001). Cumulative stent thrombosis was 0.5% versus 1.2% (p = 0.22), respectively.

Among the angiographic cohort, percent stenosis was lower in the Endeavor group compared with the BMS group both in-segment (32.6% vs. 44.4%, p < 0.0001) and in-stent (27.9% vs. 42.3%,p < 0.0001). Binary restenosis was also lower both in-segment (13.2% vs. 35.0%, p < 0.0001) and in-stent (9.4% vs. 33.5%, p < 0.0001), as was late lumen loss in-segment (0.36 mm vs. 0.72 mm, p < 0.0001) and in-stent (0.61 mm vs. 1.03 mm, p < 0.0001).

At 4 years, target vessel revascularization occurred in 10.4% of the Endeavor group versus 21.5% of the Driver group (p < 0.001). Death was 5.0% versus 5.2% (p = 0.90) and nonfatal MI was 3.2% versus 4.4% (p = 0.29), respectively.

Interpretation:

Among patients undergoing PCI for a single de novo lesion, use of the Endeavor-eluting stent was associated with a reduction in target vessel failure at 9 months compared with a Driver BMS. Additionally, the safety profile was good, with a low rate of stent thrombosis. These outcomes appeared to be sustained up to 4 years.
