Safety and efficacy of the COMBO bio-engineered stent in an all-comer PCI cohort: 1-Year final clinical outcomes from the MASCOT post-marketing registry

BACKGROUND: The COMBO stent (OrbusNeich Medical, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) is a new-generation bio-engineered drug eluting stent, combining an abluminal coating of a bioabsorbable polymer matrix for sustained release of sirolimus and luminal anti-CD34 coating for endothelial progenitor cell capture and rapid endothelialization.

METHODS: The Multinational Abluminal Sirolimus Coated BiO-Engineered StenT (MASCOT) registry was a prospective post-marketing study conducted from June 2014-May 2017 across 60 centers globally. Patients were eligible if COMBO stent implantation was attempted, and they received dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) per local guidelines. Follow-up was conducted by trained research staff at 1, 6 and 12 months by phone or clinic visit to capture clinical events and DAPT cessation events. The primary endpoint was 1-year target lesion failure (TLF), composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction not clearly attributable to a non-target vessel, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization.

RESULTS: A total of 2614 patients were enrolled over the study period with 96.7% completion of 1-year follow-up. The mean age of enrolled patients was 62.9 ± 11.2 years and 23.0% were female. Diabetes mellitus was present at baseline in 33.5%. A total of 56.1% patients underwent PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The 1-year primary endpoint of TLF occurred in 3.4% patients (n = 88). Definite stent thrombosis occurred in 0.5% patients (n = 12).

CONCLUSION: The MASCOT post marketing registry provides comprehensive safety and efficacy outcomes following contemporary PCI using the novel COMBO stent in an all-comer population. This platform is associated with low rates of 1-year TLF and ST. CLINICALTRIALS.
