Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
The Cobra PzF stent shows encouraging safety and efficacy with short-term antiplatelet therapy, potentially offering an alternative to bare metal stents.
Key Points The Cobra PzF is a non‐drug eluting, non‐bare metal stent coated with a polyzene‐F polymer that is thrombo‐resistant and reduces inflammation and neointimal proliferation. The current study demonstrates the Cobra PzF is safe and efficacious. Further studies are needed to determine if there is a DAPT duration advantage of the Cobra PzF over current DES platforms.
