[Implantation of the paclitaxel-eluting stent Apollo in patients with stable angina pectoris: long-term angiographic and clinical results].
OBJECTIVE
to assess the long-term angiographic and clinical results of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with implantation of the drug-eluting stent (DES) Apollo in patients with stable angina pectoris.


METHODS
The study enrolled 48 patients with stable angina who had been implanted with 59 stents. A follow-up of the patients lasted 12 months.


RESULTS
The intervention was successful in 100% patients. Following 12 months, 81.3% of the patients underwent angiography that demonstrated that the vascular diameter decreased by 0.32 +/- 0.45 mm and the rate of restenosis was reduced by only 5.3%. The frequency of evident cardiac complications over 12 months was as high as 11.6%.


CONCLUSIONS
The DES Apollo provides a way of safely performing PCI, by achieving a high of angiographic success rate. The application of this stent yields long-term good angiographic and clinical results in patients with stable angina pectoris.
