Outcome after provisional T-stenting with the endothelial progenitor cell capturing stent

Author: Robbert De Winter, MD, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

 

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the one year clinical outcome in patients treated with the Endothelial Progenitor Cell (EPC; Genous) capturing stent for a bifurcation lesion using a provisional T-stenting technique.

METHODS

Retrospective, single-center experience Patient selection:

  • all patients treated for a bifurcation lesion with an EPC capturing stent

Major exclusion criteria:

  • Patients undergoing primary PCI for ST-elevation myocardial infarction
  • In-stent restenosis or grafts

LIMITATIONS

  • Non randomized, retrospective
  • Single-center
  • Small population
  • No systematic angiographic follow-up

CONCLUSION

  • Provisional T-stenting for bifurcation lesions with the EPC capturing stent results in good 1 year clinical outcome
  • Genous may be a good option in particular in patients with contra indications for DAPT
  • Randomized trial is needed
