Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following percutaneous coronary intervention for 6-12 months in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 3-6 months in those with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). Whether DAPT duration has a differential effect on outcomes following treatment of ischemic coronary disease with durable versus biodegradable drug-eluting stent (DES) is poorly defined.

METHODS: The TARGET All Comer study was a randomized trial of patients with ischemic coronary artery disease assigned to treatment with either a biodegradable polymer DES (Firehawk) or a durable polymer DES (XIENCE). This pre-specified TARGET AC sub-analysis sought to evaluate the 2-year clinical outcomes before and after DAPT discontinuation. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF).

RESULTS: A total of 1,296 (78.4%) of 1,653 randomized patients were included in this substudy, of which 1,210 (93.4%) remained on DAPT at 6 months, 863 (66.6%) at 12 months, and 409 (31.6%) at 2 years. There was no difference in TLF between patients treated with Firehawk and XIENCE stents from index procedure to DAPT discontinuation (8.0 and 7.7%, p > .99) or after DAPT discontinuation (2.9 vs. 3.8%, p = .16). After DAPT discontinuation, target vessel myocardial infarction (1.3 vs. 3.3%, p = .07), and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (0.5 vs. 1.9%, p = .06) favored treatment with Firehawk.

CONCLUSIONS: Although TLF was comparable for both Firehawk and XIENCE stent groups before and after DAPT discontinuation, after DAPT discontinuation, there was a trend for less target vessel myocardial infarction and ischemia-driven revascularization with the biodegradable polymer DES.
