Registry Experience at the Washington Hospital Center, DES - Endeavor for Myocardial Infarction

REWARDS-EMI (Registry Experience at the Washington Hospital Center, DES - Endeavor for Myocardial Infarction)

Single-center registry of patients treated with at least one Endeavor, zotarolimus-eluting, Stent as the primary treatment for acute coronary syndrome at the Washington Hospital Center, with the aim of assessing clinical success and safety at 30 days, 6 months and annually for up to 3 years post Endeavor Stent implantation.

Interventional cardiology was revolutionized by the invention of stents, initially with the bare-metal stents (BMS) and recently with the drug-eluting stents (DES).Zotarolimus-eluting stents have shown promising results in randomized clinical trails, demonstrating a reduction of clinical and angiographic restenosis in comparison to BMS, and comparable clinically-driven target lesion revascularization rates in comparison with Sirolimus-eluting stents. While short-term and 1 year registry data is available from outside of the United States, it will be important to collect "real-world" data regarding the stent usage and outcomes in the United States. In this study we propose to follow patients who received at least one Endeavor® Stent as primary treatment for ACS for up to 3 years post initial stent implantation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients, male or female, >18 years of age
• Patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), where ACS is defined as ST segment deviation of >1mm or an elevation of the isoenzymes greater than 2x upper limit of normal
• Patients who received at least one Endeavor drug-eluting stent at the Washington Hospital Center

Exclusion Criteria:

• N/A
