Background • Recent reports evaluating follow-up outcomes across various clinical and angiographic subgroups showed that several factors conferred a higher risk of restenosis even after DES use. • A long diseased segment is a key predictor of worse prognostic outcome in terms of restenosis.
Background • The previous Long-DES registry study (Long-DES-I) showed that SES might be more effective in reducing angiographic restenosis compared to PES for treatment of long native coronary artery disease.

Study Design Long coronary lesions (>25mm) requiring single or multiple DES (planned total stent length 32mm) 1:1 randomization SES (250 patients) PES (250 patients) 1:1 randomization 1:1 randomization Standard antiplatelet# Standard antiplatelet Triple antiplatelet* Triple antiplatelet Angiographic and IVUS follow-up at 6 months Clinical follow-up at 30 days and 9 months * Triple antiplatelet : aspirin plus clopidogrel plus cilostazol for 6 months # Standard antiplatelet : aspirin plus clopidogrel for 6 months Primary endpoint: 1. Comparison of SES or PES: binary in-segment restenosis at 6 months 2. Comparison of triple and standard antiplatelet: in-stent late loss at 6 months
Inclusion Criteria • Clinical • Patients with angina and documented ischemia or patients • with documented silent ischemia • At least 18 years old • Angiographic • De novo coronary lesion suitable for stenting • Target lesion stenosis >50% by visual estimate • Reference vessel size 2.5 mm by visual estimation • Lesion length 25 mm by visual estimation that is required • for long stent implantation (planned total stent length 32mm)
Exclusion Criteria • Contraindication to aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol • Left main disease (diameter stenosis 50%) • Graft vessel disease • Left ventricular ejection fraction <30% • Leukocyte count <3,000/mm3 and/or platelet <100,000/mm3 • AST or ALT 3 times the upper normal reference limit • Serum creatinine level 2.0 mg/dL • A life expectancy <1 year • Planned bifurcation stenting in the side branch • Primary angioplasty for acute MI within 24 hours • Inability to follow the protocol.
Primary Endpoint The rate of binary in-segment restenosis defined as a diameter stenosis >50% using QCA at 6 months after the index procedure
Secondary Endpoints • Death • MI (Q and Non-Q) • TLR, TVR • Composites of death, MI, and TLR/TVR • Stent thrombosis (angiographical, clinical) • Late loss for in-stent and in-segment
Sample Size Estimation • Using a 2-sided 5% significance level with a statistical power of 90%, we estimated that 201 patients per group were needed to detect difference based on the Long-DES-I. • Expecting that approximately 20% of the patients would not return for angiographic follow-up, total sample size was estimated to 500 patients (250 patients per group).
Randomization • 1:1 randomization using a computer-generated sequence. • In patients with multiple lesions, only one lesion was selected by the operator’s decision. • The same type of stent was used for all lesions in patients with multiple lesions.
PCI Procedures • All patients received aspirin (200 mg daily) and clopidogrel (a loading dose of 300 mg and then 75 mg daily for at least 6 months). • The use of intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors was at the operators’ discretion. • CK, CKMB, and troponin I were assessed 8, 12 and 24 hours after the procedure.
Follow-up • Follow-up coronary angiography was performed at 6 months after stenting, or earlier if indicated by clinical symptoms or evidence of myocardial ischemia. • All adverse clinical events were adjudicated by an independent events committee blinded to the treatment groups. • QCA core lab analysis was performed in CVRF
Statistical Analysis • Analyses of the two groups were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. • Due to a two-by-two factorial design, a possible interaction between types of DES and use of cilostazol was evaluated by logistic regression analysis.

Summary • In the present study, SES consistently reduced late loss, the incidence of angiographic restenosis and the need for target lesion revascularization compared to PES in patients with long coronary lesions. In addition, a focal restenosis pattern was more common in SES patients. • Although the efficacy rates differed between SES and PES groups, the incidences of death, MI or stent thrombosis were similarly low for both groups. • SES had a consistently lower angiographic restenosis rate independently from the sex, target artery, reference vessel size, stent length, diabetes mellitus, and number of used stents.
Conclusion • SES appears to be more effective in inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia, and result in a reduced risk of restenosis rate and TLR in patients with long coronary lesions compared to PES.
