About this study

The wide-spread use of drug-eluting stents (DES) has evolved as standard of care in de novo lesions. The PROMUS Element Plus Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System is indicated for improving luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic heart disease or documented silent ischemia due to de novo lesions in native coronary arteries ≥2.25 mm to ≤4.00 mm in diameter in lesions ≤34 mm in length. The proposed study will compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the PROMUS Element Plus Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System in routine clinical practice.

Patients enrolled in this study are expected to follow antiplatelet therapy recommendations per American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA)/Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) guidelines for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recommended medications include aspirin, which should be taken for 3 days prior to the procedure or as a peri-procedural loading dose and then continued indefinitely. Additionally, one of the following P2Y12 antagonists may be given in a peri-procedural loading dose and in a maintenance dose per physician discretion: clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, or ticlopidine.

Treatment and study plan

PROMUS Element Plus Coronary Stent System

Device

PROMUS Element is a device/drug combination product composed of two components, a device (coronary stent) and a drug product (a formulation of everolimus contained in a polymer coating).

Other names: PROMUS Element stent

Aspirin

Drug

Aspirin should be taken daily (81 mg) for 3 days prior to the procedure or as a peri-procedural loading dose of 250-500 mg. A maintenance dose of aspirin of at least 81 mg daily, or as indicated by the treating physician, should be continued indefinitely.

Other names: Acetyl salicylic acid

P2Y12 antagonist

Drug

Patients to take one of the following P2Y12 antagonists; maintenance doses to be continued per ACC/AHA/SCAI guidelines for PCI.

  • Clopidogrel: Per treating physician, peri-procedural loading dose (300-600 mg), subsequent maintenance dose (75 mg daily)
  • Prasugrel: Per treating physician, peri-procedural loading dose (60 mg), subsequent maintenance dose (10 or 5 mg daily per product labeling)
  • Ticagrelor: Per treating physician, peri-procedural loading dose (180 mg), subsequent maintenance dose (90 mg 2x daily); maintenance aspirin doses >100 mg may reduce ticagrelor effectiveness and should be avoided.

    Time frame: 12 months

    ARC definite/probable ST rate in PLATINUM-like patients (no acute myocardial infarction, graft stenting, chronic total occlusion, in-stent restenosis, failed brachytherapy, bifurcation, ostial lesion, severe tortuosity, moderate/severe calcification, 3-vessel stenting, cardiogenic shock, left main disease, or acute/chronic renal dysfunction; lesion length ≤28 mm with reference vessel diameter ≥2.25 mm and <2.5 mm, or lesion length ≤24 mm with diameter ≥2.5 mm and ≤4.25 mm); statistical testing will assess if the annual ST rate increase after the first year meets the performance goal (1.0%)

    DEFINITE ST: acute coronary syndrome and angiographic or pathologic evidence of stent thrombosis; PROBABLE ST: unexplained death within 30 days or target-vessel infarction without angiographic information ARC ST is reported as a cumulative value at different time points and within the different separate time points. Time 0 is the time point after the guide catheter has been removed. Acute ST: 0-24 hours after stent implantation; Subacute ST: >24 hours to 30 days post; late ST: >30 days to 1 year post; Very late ST: >1 year post; NOTE: Acute/subacute can be replaced by early ST (0-30 days)

  3. Rate of Longitudinal Stent Deformation

    Time frame: Index Procedure

    Compression/elongation of a stent along its long axis resulting from interaction with an ancillary device (e.g., guide catheter) which catches the stent end or an internal stent strut; can occur with advancement or withdrawal of ancillary device. Under fluoroscopy, longitudinal compression usually results in increased strut density and elongation in decreased strut density ('pseudo-fracture'); both can occur in the same stent.
