Self-apposing Stentys Stents Registry

Self-apposing, drug-eluting Stentys coronary stents represent a valuable tool for the treatment of coronary artery stenosis. Their ability to adapt to widely varying vessel calibers and to auto-expand after their release to self-appose to vessel walls is particularly useful in the presence of ectasic coronary arteries or significant vessel tapering. The investigators planned this study to assess the feasibility, the effectiveness and the safety of the implantation of self-apposing, drug-eluting Stentys stents for percutaneous coronary intervention. Consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with implantation of a self-apposing Stentys stent were enrolled in this multi center registry. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years and ability to provide informed consent. No exclusion criteria were defined. Primary end-point of the study is the occurrence of MACE (death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, unplanned hospitalization for unstable angina, target lesion revascularization). Secondary end-points include individual components of MACE, procedural complications (periprocedural MI, bleedings, access site complication, failure to cross stent struts with guidewire in the treatment of bifurcation, failure to delivery the stent, contrast-induced nephropathy), bleedings at follow up.
