This study shows the R stent offers 100% procedural success and 0% stent thrombosis in 56 patients. Vigilance for severe thrombocytopenia with IIb/IIIa inhibitors is advised.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Newer generation coronary stents aim to improve outcomes of percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
  • Preliminary experience with the R stent in 56 patients is prospectively reviewed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the preliminary safety and efficacy of the R stent.
  • To assess procedural success, complication rates, and long-term outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective review of 56 patients undergoing R stent implantation.
  • Consistent approach included stent oversizing and high-pressure deployment.
  • Stents implanted for dissection, suboptimal PTCA, or electively.

Main Results:

  • 100% procedural success with R stent implantation.
  • 0% subacute stent thrombosis; 1.8% stent-related complication rate (misplacement).
  • 37.5% of patients underwent direct stenting; one case of severe thrombocytopenia noted.

Conclusions:

  • The R stent demonstrates high procedural success and low complication rates.
  • The stent's design facilitates direct stenting.
  • Caution is advised regarding potential severe thrombocytopenia with IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
