Background Though drug-eluting stent (DES) almost solved a problem of restenosis, safety issues related to stent thrombosis are still the major concern of DES. We hypothesized that hybrid stent implantation may decrease the use of DES, probably improving the long-term safety but not affecting efficacy adversely when treating multilesion coronary artery disease in the DES era. Methods From April 2004 to October 2006, 848 patients with multilesion disease underwent hybrid stent implantation. During the same period 5647 patients with multilesion coronary heart disease were treated by exclusive DES implantation in Fu Wai Hospital. According to propensity score matching, we chose 823 pairs of patients with multileison coronary artery disease for inclusion into our study. We obtained the 24-month clinical outcome including death, myocardial infarction (MI), thrombosis, target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE, the composite of death, MI, and TVR). We used Cox's proportional-hazard models to assess relative risks of all the outcome measures after propensity match. Results At 24 months, patients in the hybrid stent implantation group showed a significantly higher risk of TLR (8.39% vs. 3.28%, HR2.38, 95% Cl. 1.50-3.70), TVR (11.07% vs. 6.32%,/-/R 1.61, 95% Cl. 1.15-2.27) and MACE (13.75% vs. 8.75%, FIR 1.37, 95% Cl. 1.02-1.85). No significant difference was apparent in terms of mortality (1.22% vs. 1.70%, HR 0.55, 95% Cl. 0.24-1.25), MI (1.95% vs. 2.31%, HR0.73, 95% Cl. 0.37-1.42), or thrombosis (definite+probable) (0.73% vs. 1.58%, HR0.40, 95% Cl. 0.15-1.05). Conclusions In patients with multilesion coronary artery disease, the exclusive DES implantation was associated with significantly lower risks of TLR, TVR and MACE, and the hybrid stent implantation did not result in any significant improvements regarding safety issues. Prospective studies are needed to confirm our results.
