Why develop bioresorable stents or polymers?

Event rates persist beyond 1 year with current PERMANENT Polymer DES
Presented by Stephan Windecker, MD PCR 2014.
Resolute All Comers 5-year TLF
TLF (target Lesion Failure) is defined as cardiac death, TVMI, of clinically driven TLR.
Why develop bioresorable
stents or polymers?
• Lower late event rates - late TLF ,late ST
• Improve vasomotion
• Reduce need for prolonged DAPT
• Reduce delayed healing/incomplete endothelial coverage
• Reduce inflammation,foreign body giant cell reaction
• Reduce risk negative vessel remodeling
• Reduce late stent malapposition
• Reduce neoatherosclerosis i

Summary
• Positive clinical performance of SYNERGY supported by:
• 2-year EVOLVE II Trial data proving non-inferiority to the Promus Element Plus Stent for TLF in a diverse population (>60% ACS, >25% MI, 31% diabetes, smaller vessels, longer lesions, ≥75% AHA/ACC B2/C lesion morphology)
• 2-year EVOLVE II Trial data with no definite ST after 24 hours
• Bioabsorbable polymer-coated DES may enhance healing and improve late outcomes (ST, TLR).
Everolimus/PDLLA (1:1) matrix coating
• 7 µm

• Controlled drug release similar to Xience CoCr-EES

ABSORB IS BUILT ON PROVEN XIENCE TECHNOLOGY
INDICATIONS: The XIENCE Family of Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent Systems are indicated for improving coronary luminal diameter in patients, including those with diabetes mellitus, with symptomatic heart disease due to de novo native coronary artery lesions for XIENCE V (length ≤ 28 mm), XIENCE Prime, XIENCE Xpedition and XIENCE Alpine (lengths ≤ 32 mm) with reference vessel diameters of ≥2.25 mm to ≤ 4.25 mm. Additionally, the entire XIENCE Family is indicated for treating de novo chronic total coronary occlusions.

occur when little neointimal tissue is present to
otherwise restrain the scaffold struts

Problems with First Generation BVS
Polymer (PLLA) stents have poor radial (hoop) strength
--Therefore lesion preparation is essential
Metal stents have much better radial strength (Mg, Fe)
“Self-Correction”: some stents (e.g., DESolve) expand
.3 mm in the days after implantation

Summary: The Future of BVS Efficacy of 1st-generation BVS is uncertain
2nd-generation BVS are addressing problems of 1st-gen BVS
All versions are drug-eluting, made of polymer or metal
19 companies are competing
Uncertain if BVS can rival current DES short-term
outcomes
Long-term benefits of BVS are attractive but unproven
