Long‐term clinical, angiographic, and intravascular ultrasound outcomes of biodegradable polymer‐coated sirolimus‐eluting stents

Abstract

In this single-center experience with complex patients and lesions, the EXCEL stent implantation with 6-month dual antiplatelet treatment proved to markedly reduce the incidence of 24-month ISR and MACE. These preliminary findings require further validation by large scale, randomized trials.
