Supports short DAPT feasibility with these stents in real-world CAD; observational data leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Do biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stents with six months dual antiplatelet therapy provide safe and effective long-term outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease?
Biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stents with 6 months of dual antiplatelet therapy demonstrated sustained safety and efficacy with low rates of MACE and stent thrombosis at 5 years in daily practice.
