Does not alter stent selection in PCI; leaves open whether biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stents reduce late thrombosis.
Does a third generation biolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer improve safety and efficacy compared to durable polymer drug-eluting stents in patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention?
This review evaluates the SORT OUT V and COMPARE II trials to determine if biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stents reduce the risk of late stent thrombosis compared to durable polymer stents.
Lemesle et al. (2013) conducted a review in Patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention. Biolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer vs. First and second generation drug-eluting stents with durable polymer was evaluated. This review evaluates the safety and efficacy of a third-generation biolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer compared to durable polymer stents based on the SORT OUT V and COMPARE II trials.
