Objective: Even with the immense progress achieved in the field of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), treatment of diffuse long atherosclerotic coronary artery disease continues to remain a challenge for durable outcomes. The downstream reduction in diameter along the lesion length of a coronary artery may compel the cardiologist to use either 2 overlapping stents of different diameters or a single long stent leading to stent-vessel mismatch at the edges. Recently, Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., India, has introduced a long-tapered sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) system, BioMime Morph, which conforms to the normal tapered geometry of coronary arteries along with adequate lesion coverage. In this study, we aimed to provide real world experience regarding the safety and efficacy of the BioMime Morph SES over a follow-up of one year.
Methods: This was a single center, retrospective study involving 172 participants who underwent PCI with the BioMime Morph SES. Mean length of the target lesion was 34.4±10.4 mm, and mean stent length was 53.2±8.7 mm. The most frequent revascularized vessel was the left anterior descending artery (LAD) in 97 lesions (54.4%).
Results: Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (defined as a composite of target vessel myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and death due to a cardiac cause) at 1, 6, and 12 months were seen in 4 (2.3%), 7 (4.0%), and 8 (4.7%) patients, respectively. Overall, 5 cardiac deaths and 2 definite stent thrombosis were observed in the study.
Conclusion: The study suggests that the novel BioMime Morph SES is an effective and a safe option for PCI in the treatment of long diffuse atherosclerotic lesions.
