Implication
Stent design should inform device selection; confirms meaningful 1-year outcome differences across platforms in this RCT.
Structured PICO
Does stent design influence event-free survival at 1 year in patients undergoing coronary stent placement?
P
Population
1,147 unselected patients undergoing coronary stent placement
I
Intervention
Placement of one of five types of stainless steel stents (Inflow, MULTI-LINK, NIR, Palmaz-Schatz, or PURA-A)
C
Comparator
Comparison between the five different stent designs
O
Outcome
Event-free survival at 1 yearcomposite
Stent design significantly impacts 1-year event-free survival and freedom from myocardial infarction in patients undergoing coronary stent placement.
