Abstract

Objectives We compared the safety and efficacy of the XIENCE V (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) everolimus-eluting stent (EES) with the TAXUS Express (Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) among the large cohort of randomized diabetic patients enrolled in the SPIRIT IV (Clinical Evaluation of the XIENCE V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System) trial. Background Diabetes mellitus remains a significant predictor of adverse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents, and the comparative outcomes of different drug-eluting stents in diabetic patients remains ill-defined. Methods In the SPIRIT IV trial, 3,687 patients with up to 3 de novo native coronary artery lesions were prospectively randomized 2:1 to receive EES or PES. Randomization was stratified by the presence of diabetes and lesion complexity. The primary end point was the occurrence of target lesion failure (TLF) (cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization) at 1 year. Clinical outcomes were evaluated in randomized diabetic (n = 1,185 [786 EES; 399 PES]) and nondiabetic patients (n = 2,498 [1,669 EES; 829 PES]). Results The EES compared with PES reduced TLF in nondiabetic patients (3.1% vs. 6.7%, p < 0.0001), with significant reductions in myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and target lesion revascularization. In contrast, no difference in TLF (6.4% vs. 6.9%, respectively, p = 0.80) or any of its components was present among diabetic patients, regardless of insulin use. A significant interaction between the presence of diabetes and stent type on TLF (pinteraction = 0.02) was observed. Conclusions In the SPIRIT IV randomized trial, EES compared with PES provided similar clinical outcomes in diabetic patients and superior clinical outcomes in nondiabetic patients at 1 year.
