Journal ArticleDOI
A bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting coronary stent system (ABSORB): 2-year outcomes and results from multiple imaging methods
Patrick W. Serruys,John A. Ormiston,Yoshinobu Onuma,Evelyn Regar,Nieves Gonzalo,Hector M. Garcia-Garcia,Koen Nieman,Nico Bruining,Cecile Dorange,Karine Miquel-Hebert,Susan Veldhof,Mark Webster,Leif Thuesen,Dariusz Dudek +13 more
TL;DR: At 2 years after implantation the stent was bioabsorbed, had vasomotion restored and restenosis prevented, and was clinically safe, suggesting freedom from late thrombosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting coronary stent system for patients with single de-novo coronary artery lesions (ABSORB): a prospective open-label trial
John A. Ormiston,Patrick W. Serruys,Evelyn Regar,Dariusz Dudek,Leif Thuesen,Mark Webster,Yoshinobu Onuma,Hector M. Garcia-Garcia,Robert McGreevy,Susan Veldhof +9 more
TL;DR: This study shows the feasibility of implantation of the bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting stent, with an acceptable in-stent late loss, minimal intrastent neointimal hyperplasia, and a low stent area obstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bioresorbable everolimus-eluting scaffold versus a metallic everolimus-eluting stent for ischaemic heart disease caused by de-novo native coronary artery lesions (ABSORB II): an interim 1-year analysis of clinical and procedural secondary outcomes from a randomised controlled trial
Patrick W. Serruys,Bernard Chevalier,Dariusz Dudek,Angel Cequier,Didier Carrié,Andrés Iñiguez,Marcello Dominici,René J van der Schaaf,Michael Haude,Luc Wasungu,Susan Veldhof,Lei Peng,Peter Staehr,Maik J. Grundeken,Yuki Ishibashi,Hector M. Garcia-Garcia,Yoshinobu Onuma +16 more
TL;DR: Primary clinical and procedural outcomes after 1 year of follow-up are vasomotion and difference between minimum lumen diameter after nitrate administration after the index procedure and at 3 years and composite clinical endpoints based on death, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularisation are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the Direct Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A 2 Inhibitor Darapladib on Human Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque
Patrick W. Serruys,Hector M. Garcia-Garcia,Paweł Buszman,Paul Erne,Stefan Verheye,Michael Aschermann,Henrikus Duckers,Øyvind Bleie,Dariusz Dudek,Hans Erik Bøtker,Clemens von Birgelen,Don D'Amico,Tammy Hutchinson,Andrew Zambanini,Frits Mastik,Gerrit Anne van Es,Antonius F.W. van der Steen,D. Geoffrey Vince,Peter Ganz,Christian W. Hamm,William Wijns,Andrew Zalewski,Andrew Zalewski +22 more
TL;DR: Comparing the effects of 12 months of treatment with darapladib or placebo on coronary atheroma deformability and plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in 330 patients with angiographically documented coronary disease suggests that Lp-PLA2 inhibition may represent a novel therapeutic approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the Second Generation of a Bioresorbable Everolimus-Eluting Vascular Scaffold for the Treatment of De Novo Coronary Artery Stenosis: 12-Month Clinical and Imaging Outcomes
Patrick W. Serruys,Yoshinobu Onuma,Dariusz Dudek,Pieter C. Smits,Jacques J. Koolen,Bernard Chevalier,Bernard De Bruyne,Leif Thuesen,Dougal McClean,Robert-Jan van Geuns,Stephan Windecker,Robert Whitbourn,Ian T Meredith,Cecile Dorange,Susan Veldhof,Karine Miquel Hebert,Krishnankutty Sudhir,Hector M. Garcia-Garcia,John A. Ormiston +18 more
TL;DR: The first generation of the bioresorbable everolimus drug-eluting vascular scaffold showed signs of shrinkage at 6 months, which largely contributed to late luminal loss as mentioned in this paper.
