lüll A meta-analysis of randomized trials on clinical outcomes of paclitaxel-eluting stents versus bare-metal stents in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients Pan XH; Chen YX; Xiang MX; Xu G; Wang JAJ Zhejiang Univ Sci B 2010[Oct]; 11 (10): 754-61A meta-analysis was performed to address the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify all randomized clinical trials in mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction (rMI), repeat revascularization (RR), and stent thrombosis (ST). A total of 4190 STEMI patients were enrolled in six randomized trials comparing PES with bare-metal stent (BMS). The pooled repeat revascularization rate was 5.7% in PES group, significantly lower than 10.0% in BMS group with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.44, 0.72] (P<0.00001). No significant difference was found between PES and BMS groups in mortality at one year after the indexing procedure (3.9% vs. 5.1%, OR 0.88, 95% CI [0.63, 1.21], P=0.42). Similarly, rMI rate did not differ significantly between the two groups (3.4% vs. 4.1%, OR 0.80, 95% CI [0.56, 1.13], P=0.21). PES was also associated with the comparable pooled rate of definite stent thrombosis with BMS (2.3% vs. 2.4%, OR 0.81, 95% CI [0.52, 1.26], P=0.35). The results show that PES improved clinical outcomes in STEMI patients with a decreased need for repeat revascularization and no concerns for safety.|*Angioplasty, Balloon, Coronary[MESH]|*Drug-Eluting Stents[MESH]|*Stents[MESH]|Antineoplastic Agents, Phytogenic/*administration & dosage[MESH]|Electrocardiography[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Myocardial Infarction/*therapy[MESH]|Paclitaxel/*administration & dosage[MESH]|Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
