AIMS: To obtain long-term follow-up data of the sirolimus-eluting coronary stent (SES) and to determine factors associated with clinical events and target vessel revascularization (TVR). METHODS AND RESULTS: Between 2002 and 2005, 5,946 patients were treated with at least one SES. A follow-up after a median of 4.1 years was obtained in 5,247 patients (88.2 %). During the follow-up, death occurred in 9.2 % of patients, nonfatal myocardial infarction in 5.9 %, nonfatal stroke in 2.2 % and MACCE (death/myocardial infarction/stroke) in 16.3 %. Any TVR was performed in 20.3 %. Independent predictors of MACCE were: older age (p < 0.0001), renal insufficiency (p < 0.0001), prior myocardial infarction (p < 0.0001), diabetes mellitus (p < 0.0001), cardiogenic shock (p = 0.0002), three-vessel disease (p = 0.0012), reduced left ventricular function (p = 0.0048), target vessel = bypass graft (p = 0.0122), indication for treatment = ACS (p = 0.0181) and PCI before implantation (p = 0.0308). Independent predictors of TVR were target vessel = coronary bypass (<0.0001), two- or three-vessel disease (p < 0.0001), ostial lesions (p < 0.0001), total length of SES implanted (p = 0.0012) and older age being a protective factor (p = 0.0187). CONCLUSIONS: Long-term follow-up of the SES in clinical practice showed clinical event rates that were comparable to randomized trials with a MACCE rate of 16.3 % and TVR rate of 20.3 %.
