Why the study?
Does durable polymer PtCr-EES reduce target lesion revascularisation and stent thrombosis compared to other new-generation DES in patients undergoing PCI?
Does durable polymer PtCr-EES reduce target lesion revascularisation and stent thrombosis compared to other new-generation DES in patients undergoing PCI?
Durable polymer PtCr-EES offers comparable clinical efficacy and safety to other new-generation DES, though it is associated with a significantly higher risk of longitudinal stent deformation.
PtCr-EES remains suitable for PCI given comparable TLR and ST; confirms equivalence to other DES while extending deformation risk concerns.
