Modelos europeos de telemedicina, como el servicio finlandés Medilux, permiten realizar consultas médicas online mediante un cuestionario clínico, sin acudir a una consulta presencial.

DESSOLVE II: 2-year results show the superiority of the sirolimus eluting stent with fast bio -absorbable polymer.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the sirolimus eluting stent with bio -absorbable polymer (MiStent SES) compared with zotarolimus eluting stent with permanent polymer (Endeavor). This 2:1 randomized, multicenter study included 183 patients with the primary objective of evaluating the late lumen loss between the MiStent and Endeavor a two years.

MiStent was superior to the control group with a late lumen loss of 0.27 versus 0.58 (p < 0.001). No differences in MACE, cardiac death or myocardial revascularization were observed but the vessel revascularization 1.7 % for MiStent and 8.3 % for Endeavor (p = 0.04). No stent thrombosis was observed for the new device versus 1.7% for Endeavor group.

Conclusion

MiStent had significantly less late lumen loss within 2 years than zotarolimus eluting stent with permanent polymer.
