Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 15: Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT), a medical devices company with a portfolio of technologically advanced medical devices across vascular and structural heart intervention, announced positive 3-year results from the FIRE Trial, presented at ESC 2025, reaffirming the safety and efficacy of its Supraflex Cruz drug-eluting stent in patients aged 75 years and older with myocardial infarction (MI) and multivessel disease.
The FIRE Trial is a study evaluating revascularization strategies in elderly MI patients with multivessel disease. 1,445 patients across 34 centres in Italy, Spain, and Poland were randomized to functionally guided complete revascularization or culprit-only treatment, with Supraflex Cruz as the stent of choice. The primary endpoint was the patient-oriented composite of all-cause death, MI, stroke, and revascularization, assessed over three years.
At a 3-year follow-up, among older patients with MI and multivessel disease, physiology-guided complete revascularization, as compared to a culprit-only revascularization strategy, reduced risk of primary and key secondary endpoints. As per the data presented at ESC Congress, results also showed consistently low stent thrombosis rates (1.03% at 1 year; 1.17% at 3 years) and a lowered risk of adverse cardiovascular events, reinforcing the benefits of physiology-guided complete revascularization in high-risk patients.
Prof. Gianluca Campo, Study Chair, stated, "The FIRE trial demonstrates that physiology-guided complete revascularization using Supraflex Cruz lowered the risk of a composite endpoint of death, MI, stroke, or ischemia-driven revascularization compared to a culprit-only approach. Importantly, these benefits were sustained over 3 years, with a very low rate of stent thrombosis at both 1 and 3 years, highlighting the safety and reliability of Supraflex Cruz in elderly patients with multivessel disease."
Dr. Simone Biscaglia, Principal Investigator, added, "The FIRE trial shows that physiology-guided complete revascularization with Supraflex Cruz offers benefits in elderly MI patients with multivessel disease. It reduced primary endpoints versus a culprit-only approach, with sustained benefits over three years and very low stent thrombosis rates, confirming the safety and efficacy of Supraflex Cruz."
Dr. Krishna Sudhir, Chief Medical Officer, SMT, commented, "The FIRE Trial reinforces evidence from TALENT, COMPARE 60/80, and other studies showing Supraflex Cruz consistently delivers positive outcomes in high-risk patients. With safety and enhanced deliverability, Supraflex Cruz continues to set benchmarks in coronary care globally."
