Final five-year clinical outcomes in the EVOLVE trial: a randomised evaluation of a novel bioabsorbable polymer-coated, everolimus-eluting stent.
EuroIntervention 2018 April 21
AIMS: Long-term data on bioabsorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stents (BP-EES) are limited. The EVOLVE trial compared the safety and efficacy of two dose formulations of the SYNERGY BP-EES with the permanent polymer-coated PROMUS Element EES (PE).
METHODS AND RESULTS: The EVOLVE study was a prospective, multicentre, non-inferiority trial that randomised 291 patients with de novo coronary lesions (length: ≤28 mm; diameter: ≥2.25 to ≤3.5 mm) to receive PE (n=98), SYNERGY (n=94), or SYNERGY half-dose (n=99). At five years, there were no significant differences in the rates of TLF or individual components between groups. TLR rates trended lower in both SYNERGY arms than in the PE arm (TLR: 1.1% SYNERGY and 1.0% SYNERGY half-dose vs. 6.1% PE; p=0.07 and p=0.06, respectively). TVR was numerically lower in the SYNERGY arms compared to the PE arm (TVR: 3.3% SYNERGY and 4.2% SYNERGY half-dose vs. 10.2% PE; p=0.06 and p=0.11, respectively). No incidence of stent thrombosis was reported in any arm up to five years.
CONCLUSIONS: The EVOLVE trial represents the longest-term follow-up of the SYNERGY stent available to date, demonstrating its continued safety and efficacy for the treatment of selected de novo atherosclerotic lesions up to five years.
