Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System in routine clinical practice.

Detailed description

The ION™ stent is the third-generation Boston Scientific (BSC) paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent. It is designed for improved performance specific to deliverability and radio-opacity while maintaining a similar drug release profile of the TAXUS Express and TAXUS Liberté stents. Following PMA approval from the FDA for the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System the ION US Post-Approval study will compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System in routine clinical practice. Post-approval studies of drug-eluting stents (DES) provide an opportunity to observe and assess patient outcomes and technology performance in a real-world setting.

Outcome results

Primary

Cardiac Death or Myocardial Infarction (CD/MI)

Cardiac Death or myocardial infarction (CD/MI) in the ION registry population. For the protocol specified primary endpoint analysis including data pooled from the PERSEUS SV, PERSEUS WH and TE Prove patient populations please see the citations.

Time frame: 12 Months

Population: There were 83 subjects not evaluable for 12-month cardiac events (No follow-up ≥ 335 days and events-free within 365-day) leaving a total of 1028 subjects evaluated for 12 month CD/MI.

ArmMeasureValue (NUMBER)
ION RegistryCardiac Death or Myocardial Infarction (CD/MI)2.2 percentage of paricipants
Comparison: 2.2% (23/1028) of ION Registry subjects experienced CD/MI related to the ION stent at 12 months
Secondary

Stent Thrombosis

Academic Research Consortium (ARC) defined (definite/probable) stent thrombosis (ST) in the ION registry population. For the protocol specified secondary endpoint analysis including data pooled from the PERSEUS SV, PERSEUS WH and TE Prove patient populations please see the citations.

Time frame: Annually, after the first year, through 2 years.

Population: There were 57 subjects not evaluable for 2-year cardiac events (No follow-up ≥ 700 days and events-free within 730-day) leaving a total of 1054 subjects evaluated for ARC ST Definite/Probable.

Comparison: 2.6% (27/1054) of ION Registry subjects experienced ARC ST Definite/Probable related to the ION stent at 2 years.
