We aimed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of two Sirolimus-Eluting Stents (the biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stents, EXCEL and the polymer-based sirolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stents, Firebird 2) in the treatment of patients with CAD and Type 2 Diabetes. Methods A total of 320 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention randomised into two groups (EXCEL group, n=158; Firebird 2 group, n=162). Baseline clinical characteristics, procedural success rate and occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, a composite of death, myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularisation) during follow-up were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results During hospitalisation no patient had complications. At 1 year follow-up, both of the EXCEL group and Firebird 2 group had lower occurrence of cardiac events (1.9\% in the Excel group and 1.2\% in the Firebird group, p\>0.05). Conclusion Implantation of EXCEL stent or Firebird 2 stent for patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes is safe and can reduce major adverse cardiac events in long-term follow-up.}, issn = {1355-6037}, URL = {https://heart.bmj.com/content/96/Suppl_3/156}, eprint = {https://heart.bmj.com/content/96/Suppl_3/156.full.pdf}, journal = {Heart} }
