Two‐year follow‐up of the genous™ endothelial progenitor cell capturing stent versus the taxus liberté stent in patients with <i>De Novo</i> coronary artery lesions with a high‐risk of restenosis

Abstract

In the TRIAS pilot study, treatment of coronary artery lesions carrying a high risk of restenosis with the Genous compared with the Taxus stent resulted in a nonsignificant difference of TVR at 2-yr follow-up, with convergence of the Kaplan-Meier curves between 1 and 2 yr. Stent thrombosis was only observed after Taxus stent implantation.
