STENTYS The data were obtained by Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) from a group of patients that were examined three years post-treatment for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction with the STENTYS stent. The in-stent Late Lumen Loss was 0.08mm (±0.43), while the rate of well-apposed struts was 99.3% and the rate of strut covered by tissue was 99.7%.
Gonzague Issenmann, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of STENTYS, stated: 'We expect that these exciting long-term results for our Sirolimus-eluting Self-Apposing stent, which is now commercially available in Europe with a new balloon delivery system under the brand Xposition®, will further drive adoption as cardiologists recognize the potential to optimally treat their patients without the risk of severe malapposition observed with conventional stents.'
APPOSITION IV is a prospective, randomized, four-arm, multi-center study designed to compare the STENTYS Sirolimus eluting stent (90 patients) with Medtronic Resolute® (62 patients) in the treatment of ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction. Patients were followed up at either 4 months (63 patients) or 9 months (89 patients). Stent apposition was statistically better in the STENTYS group than the balloon-expandable group at 4 months, and a greater percentage of STENTYS stents were fully covered by vessel tissue (33% vs 4%, p=0.02), a marker for healing. At 9 months, the STENTYS SES showed no reduction in artery lumen diameter (Late Lumen Loss of 0.04mm ±0.43 under QCA) with a near perfect arterial healing (99% covered struts at 9 months under OCT).
STENTYS is developing and commercializing innovative solutions for the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease. STENTYS' Self-Apposing® Stents are designed to adapt to vessels with ambiguous or fluctuating diameters in order to prevent the malapposition problems associated with conventional stents. The APPOSITION clinical trials in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction showed a very low one year mortality rate and a faster arterial healing compared to conventional stents. The company's product portfolio also includes MiStent SES®, a coronary DES whose new drug delivery mechanism is designed to match vessel response, and is marketed through STENTYS' commercial network in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.
