Drug-eluting stents have great impact to the coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) in cardiac surgery. Someone even believes that it could replace the surgery procedure. However, the drug-eluting stents are not so ideally in the clinic practice. There are no significant difference between drug-eluting stents and bare metal stents in the mortality and the angina recurrence in middle-long term follow-up. The same results are in the compare with the CABG. As the challenge of the drug-eluting stents, the cardiac surgery has many aspects practice and progress in the harvest of the bypass graft. In the article, the change of the CABG conduit in the era of drug-eluting stents are reviewed.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular implantation of bare-metal stent (BMS) and endovascular implantation of drug-eluting stent (DES) in treatment of infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease by using Meta-analysis.
MethodsRandomized controlled trial about endovascular implantation of BMS and endovascular implantation of DES in treatment of infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease were searched in domestic and international databases, literature screening in accordance with inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria was taken firstly, and then quality assessment was performed. Comparison of 1-year restenosis rate, 1-year patency rate, incidence of limb salvage, mortality, and 1-year target lesion revascularization rate after operation between BMS group and DES group were performed by using RevMan 5.2 software for Meta-analysis.
ResultsSix literatures included 572 cases who suffered from infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease were included at all, including 302 cases in DES group and 270 cases in BMS group. The results of Meta-analysis showed that, compared with BMS group, 1-year patency rate after operation in DES group was higher (OR=1.64, 95% CI:1.35-1.98, P < 0.000 1), but 1-year restenosis rate (OR=0.19, 95% CI:0.12-0.30, P < 0.000 1) and 1-year target lesion revascularization rate after operation (OR=0.09, 95% CI:0.02-0.32, P=0.000 2) were both lower. There were no significance difference between the BMS group and DES group on incidence of postoperative limb salvage (OR=1.29, 95% CI:0.58-2.86, P=0.530 0) and postoperative mortality (OR=0.98, 95% CI:0.58-1.65, P=0.940 0).
ConclusionsCompared with endovascular implantation of BMS, endovascular implantation of DES can increase the 1-year patency rate and reduce 1-year restenosis rate or 1-year target lesion revascularization rate after operation for infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease.
