AIMS

Bioabsorbable-polymer drug-eluting stents (DES) may reduce inflammation and delayed healing associated with some permanent polymer-coated DES. Whether late clinical outcomes are improved, particularly among patients with medically-treated diabetes, is unknown.

METHODS AND RESULTS

SYNERGY is a thin-strut, platinum chromium everolimus-eluting stent with an ultrathin bioabsorbable poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide) abluminal polymer. The EVOLVE II randomized, controlled trial proved noninferiority of SYNERGY versus the PROMUS Element Plus stent for 1-year target lesion failure (TLF: ischemia- driven target lesion revascularization [ID-TLR], target-vessel myocardial infarction [TVMI], or cardiac death). The prespecified EVOLVE II Diabetes Substudy prospectively pooled randomized patients with diabetes (N=263) with a sequential single-arm diabetic cohort (n=203). The substudy primary endpoint was 1-year TLF compared with a prespecified performance goal (14.5%). The primary endpoint occurred in 7.5% of SYNERGY-treated patients with diabetes, significantly less than the performance goal (P<0.0001). The 2-year rate of TLF was 11.2% (cardiac death 1.5%, TVMI 6.4%, ID-TLR 6.8%) and definite/probable stent thrombosis occurred in 1.1% of patients.

CONCLUSIONS

The EVOLVE II Diabetes substudy demonstrates efficacy and safety of the SYNERGY stent in patients with medically-treated diabetes.
