Abstract

Background Diabetes type 2 is one of the strongest risk factors affecting coronary artery disease (CAD) and is also a marker of poor short and long-term prognosis in subjects with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with subsequent drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Chronic local vascular inflammation along with endothelial dysfunction is postulated to be the pathophysiological background of unfavorable results. The second generation of metallic magnesium BRS –Magmaris (Biotronik, Berlin, Germany) had been introduced to clinical practice to overcome these limitations. Methods We evaluated 2-years clinical outcomes after Magmaris BRS implantation in NSTE-ACS diabetic ( n-72) and non-diabetic ( n-121) cohorts. Results No significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetes cohorts were noticed in terms of Primary Outcome (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis) (8.1% vs 3.3% p = 0.182) and Principal secondary outcome – TLF- target lesion failure (9.5% vs 3.3% p = 0.106) at 2-years follow-up. Conclusions 2-years outcome suggests good safety and efficacy of the magnesium BRS (Magmaris) in NSTE- ACS and concomitant DM. Nevertheless, there is a strong need for large multicenter, randomized, prospective studies for a full assessment of this novel device in diabetic patients with ACS.
