Does a sirolimus-eluting stent reduce restenosis and associated clinical events compared to standard stents in patients with stenosis in a native coronary artery?
Sirolimus-eluting stents are effective at reducing restenosis and associated clinical events in patients with complex coronary lesions.
In this randomized clinical trial involving patients with complex coronary lesions, the use of a sirolimus-eluting stent had a consistent treatment effect, reducing the rates of restenosis and associated clinical events in all subgroups analyzed.
Moses et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
