Short- and Long-Term Outcomes With Drug-Eluting and Bare-Metal Coronary Stents

Abstract

DES are highly efficacious at reducing the risk of target-vessel revascularization without an increase in any safety outcomes, including stent thrombosis. However, among the DES types, there were considerable differences, such that EES, SES, and ZES-R were the most efficacious and EES was the safest stent.
