Background Recent studies have suggested that EES may reduce ST compared to PES, but no individual trial has been adequately powered for this endpoint The on-going propensity of the first generation DES for ST has lead towards longer DAPT regimens in current practice (Current guidelines: 1 year or more), despite the associated risks of such treatment and despite the lack of evidence that such an approach improves clinical outcomes post PCI Whether DAPT duration with newer generation DES can be shortened is unknown
Objective • To investigate • ST incidence with second generation EES as compared to first generation PES • relation between the 2 year ST rates and permanent discontinuation of DAPT in EES and PES treated patients from a patient level pooled analysis SPIRIT II, SPIRIT III, SPIRIT IV and COMPARE trials
Design Summary of the four (EES vs PES) Trials Pooled for the Analysis (n=6789) EES : Xience V Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara (CA) USA PES : Taxus Boston Scientific, Natick (MA) USA
Methods • Baseline clinical, angiographic and procedural data of the four trials were pooled to allow for a patient-level analysis • Events as adjudicated in each trial were utilized • To adjust for slight differences in the baseline characteristics of the study population, a propensity score matching analysis was performed • The ST analyses were performed using time-to-event data and were compared with the log-rank test before and after PS adjustment

Conclusions • Second generation EES (Xience V) was associated with a significant reduction in definite and definite/probable ST at 2 years as compared to first generation PES (Taxus) • This reduction was already present in early phase and increased in magnitude during the first and second year of FU • The reduction in ST rates with EES was paralleled by a significant reduction in the rate of the composite safety endpoint of Death and Myocardial Infarction
Conclusions • Permanent DAPT discontinuation at any time beyond one month did not impact ST rates at 2 years in EES (Xience V) treated patients, while DAPT treatments longer that 2 years may be safer for PES (Taxus) treated patients • The hypothesis that DAPT could be safely permanently discontinued starting from 6 months after EES implantation is supported from findings of the landmark analysis • These results should be regarded as hypothesis generating and need to be confirmed by larger dedicated randomised studies
