A Randomized Comparison of Bioheart Sirolimus-Eluting Bioresorbable Scaffold and Everolimus-Eluting Stents
- Randomised controlled trial
- prospective
- multicentre
- non-inferiority
Authors' conclusion
In this multicenter randomized trial, the Bioheart BRS was noninferior to the CoCr-EES for 1-year in-segment late loss, and resulted in a comparable 3-year clinical outcome.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with CAD, 22 Chinese sites
- Participants
- 434 patients
- Comparison
- Bioheart sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) vs cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stent (CoCr-EES)
- Bioheart BRSn = 218
- CoCr-EESn = 216reference
- Primary endpoint
- In-segment late loss
- Follow-up
- 12 months
