Randomised comparison of the polymer-free biolimus-coated BioFreedom stent with the ultrathin strut biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting Orsiro stent in an all-comers population treated with PCI: the SORT OUT IX Trial

03 Jul 2020

While investigations testing differences in efficacy and safety between drug-eluting stents according to the characteristics of the coating – durable, bioresorbable, or polymer-free – have shown mixed results, several studies have highlighted the benefit of implanting a device with thinner strut.
