The Carbostent is a new balloon-expandable, stainless steel, tubular stent with innovative multicellular design and unique turbostratic carbon coating (Carbofilm). This open nonrandomized 2-center study assesses the immediate and long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes after Carbostent implantation in patients with native coronary artery disease. The Carbostent was implanted in 112 patients with 132 de novo lesions. Most patients (55%) had unstable angina, and 38% of lesions were type B2-C. The mean lesion length was 12.5 +/- 7.0 mm, and 29% of lesions were >15 mm in length, No stent deployment failure occurred, as well as acute or subacute stent thrombosis, The 6-month event-free survival was 84 +/- 4%. One patient with a stented right coronary artery and no restenosis at the angiographic follow-up died after 6 months of fatal infarction due to abrupt closure of a nontarget vessel. In-hospital non-Q-wave myocardial infarction occurred in 1 patient, and 11 patients had repeat target lesion revascularization (target lesion revascularization rate 10%). The 6-month angiographic follow-up was obtained in 108 patients (96%) (127 lesions). Angiographic restenosis rate was 11%. The loss index was 0.29 +/- 0.28. The results of this study indicate a potential benefit of Carbostent for the prevention of stent thrombosis and restenosis in these relatively high-risk patients. A larger trial is being planned to confirm these promising results. (C)2000 by Excerpta Medica, Inc.
