[Immediate and long-term results of implantation of the coronary stent "BioDiamond"].
OBJECTIVE
To assess immediate and long-term outcomes after BioDiamond-stent implantation in patients with native coronary artery disease.


METHODS
The BioDiamond stent was implanted in 112 patients with 132 de novo lesions. Most patients (54%) had unstable angina, 33% of the lesions were of type B2-C.


RESULTS
No stent deployment failure occurred as well as acute or subacute stent thrombosis. The 6-month angiographic follow-up was obtained in 108 patients (98%) (125 lesions). The loss index was 0.40 +/- 0.27. Angiographic restenosis rate occurred in 14%. Repeat target lesion revascularization was successful in 16 patients with restenosis.


CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study indicate a potential benefit of BioDiamond for prevention of stent thrombosis and restenosis in these relatively high-risk patients.
