Temporal course of vascular healing and neoatherosclerosis after implantation of durable- or biodegradable-polymer drug-eluting stents

Abstract

BP-EES and DP-ZES showed a similar healing response at 3 months and a low incidence of NA at 18 months. Biocompatible polymers, regardless of whether they are durable or biodegradable, may favourably impact the long-term vascular response to current-generation DES.
