Key result
Drug-eluting stents significantly improve the long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary interventions by suppressing neointimal proliferation and dramatically reducing restenosis.
Drug-eluting stents represent a significant advancement in interventional cardiology by effectively reducing restenosis rates compared to bare-metal stents.

Reinforces DES preference in PCI; leaves open optimal duration of antiplatelet therapy in contemporary practice.
Kipshidze et al. (2005) conducted a review in Coronary conditions and vascular restenosis. Drug-eluting stents (DES) was evaluated. Drug-eluting stents significantly improve the long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary interventions by suppressing neointimal proliferation and dramatically reducing restenosis.
