Long Term Outcomes of MGuard Stent Deployment in Saphenous Vein Grafts and Native Coronary Arteries: A Single Center Experience.
Israel Medical Association Journal : IMAJ 2017 March
BACKGROUND: The MGuard™ stent (InspireMD, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a bare metal mesh-covered stent, developed to prevent no-reflow phenomenon during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) and acute myocardial infarction (MI), both associated with significant atherothrombotic lesions.
OBJECTIVES: To report on local experience with patients treated with the MGuard stent until follow-up at 1 year.
METHODS: We followed 163 consecutive patients who underwent MGuard stent deployment during the period 2009 to 2014 in a large tertiary cardiac center in central Israel.
RESULTS: The MGuard stent was used in 67% of patients who underwent SVG-PCI while 33% were treated for native coronary artery disease, the majority during ST-elevation MI (STEMI). The mean age was 67 years and 83% were males. The clinical presentation was STEMI in 30% and non-STEMI/unstable angina in 60% of patients. Of the total number of patients, 47% had diabetes and 29% had chronic kidney disease. All patients had follow-up at 1 year. Mortality in the native group was 1.9% vs. 10% in the vein graft cohort. ST was 2% in both groups. The major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates were 11% in the native artery and 29% in the vein graft group, mainly due to respective target lesion revascularization/target vessel revascularization rates of 6% and 7% in the native vessel group and 11% and 15% in the SVG group.
CONCLUSIONS: In suitable patients undergoing SVG-PCI or native lesion intervention during acute MI, the MGuard stent is a viable treatment strategy. Its potential merits and limitations warrant further evaluation.
