Abstract :

Background: Magnesium bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) was launched last year. The advantage of using BRS are reduced longterm complications such as stent fracture, late stent thrombosis, and in-stent restenosis with return of normal vasomotor function and late lumen gain with plaque regression. However, procedural safety and long-term outcome data is scarce. Objective: Identify safety and outcome of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with magnesium BRS. Materials & Methods: This was a prospective, observational single center study conducted in UiTM Sungai Buloh from 1st November 2016 to 14th February 2017. RESULTS 7 patients who were enrolled had mean age of 46(��?9). All were male. Ethnicity breakdown showed 5 Malays, 1 Chinese, and 1 Indian. Cardiovascular risk assessment revealed 85.7% diabetes mellitus, 42.9% smokers, 28.6% hypertension and 28.6% dyslipidemia. Target vessels treated were 6 left anterior descending (LAD) and 1 right coronary artery (RCA). Out of the 7 patients, 28.6% were type A lesions, 42.8% were type B1, and 28.5% were type C. Among those, 4 involved LAD-D1 bifurcations, and 2 were chronic total occlusions (CTO). The lesions were prepared with semi-compliant balloons in 5 cases and non-compliant balloons in 2 cases. The balloon-to-stent ratio were 1:1 (n=1), 0.92:1 (n=1), 0.85:1 (n=4) and 0.83:1 (n=1). The Magnesium BRS diameters used were 3.5mm (n=4) and 3.0mm (n=3) with length of 15mm (n=1), 20mm (n=4) and 25mm (n=2). Post-dilatation in one patient was carried out with non-compliant balloon of equal diameter to the stent, while the rest had upsizing with +0.5mm larger balloons. Procedural outcome was 100% successful. At one-month follow-up there were no symptoms, MACE or TLR. Conclusions: We demonstrated safety and good short-term outcome in the use of Magnesium BRS in our cohort. However, a larger cohort and long-term outcome monitoring would better delineate the safety and efficacy of this BRS.
