ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects and security of rapamycin drug-eluting stents implanting in eld-eay patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods 107 patients with CHD treated with Firebird rapamycin drug-eluting stents,the immediate angiographic outcome,complication in hospitalization.six months'follow-up results were assessed.Results 175 Firebird stents implanted successfully,the successful stenting procedure achieved in 98.9% patients,1 patient(0.9%) died of thrombosis instent during hospitalization.there were no myocardial infarction occurred during six months'follow-up,angina recrudesced in 6 patients,and the ratio of instent restenosis was 2.6%,the MACE rate during 6 months follow-up was 2.8%.Conclusion Firebird rapamycin drug-eluting stents implanta-tion in CHD in elderly was safe and effective.
