ISAR-DESIRE 2
Background • The widespread adoption of DES therapy has led to significant absolute numbers of patients presenting with DES-restenosis
• It is estimated that up to 200,000 cases per annum occur in USA
ISAR DESIRE 2
Background • The optimal treatment strategy for instent restenosis is based on the axiom:
maximize acute gain
minimize late loss
• In BMS-restenosis this has most effectively been accomplished by DES ISAR-DESIRE JAMA 2005; RIBS-II JACC 2006 TAXUS-V-ISR JAMA 2006; SISR JAMA 2006
ISAR DESIRE 2
Background • In DES-restenosis the most effective management strategy is unclear
• While repeat DES implantation seems preferable, optimal stent type is not known Different DES (“hetero-DES”) Same DES (“homo-DES”)

ISAR DESIRE 2
Background • SES have proven superior to PES in subsets of patients with high-risk features
• The comparative performance of both stents in SES treatment failure is not known ISAR-DESIRE JAMA 2005; ISAR-DIABETES NEJM 2005 SIRTAX NEJM 2005; ISAR-SMART-3 EHJ 2006; Schömig et al. JACC 2007

Study Objective • To compare the anti-restenotic efficacy of SES (Cypher) versus PES (Taxus) in patients with SES-restenosis

Study Organization Design
450 patients enrolled at two centres in Munich, Germany
• DESIGN: Randomized, openlabel, active-control trial • INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. In-SES restenosis > 50% 2. Symptoms/signs of ischaemia • EXCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Cardiogenic shock 2. Lesion in LMCA or graft 3. Acute myocardial infarction • PRIMARY ENDPOINT: In-stent late loss

Conclusions • Repeat DES implantation for DESrestenosis is safe out to 1 year
• In cases of SES-restenosis, both SES and PES are associated with a comparable degree of anti-restenotic efficacy

Conclusions • Drug resistance at an individual patient level may play a contributory role in the somewhat lower anti-restenotic efficacy of SES in this study
