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.

Ticagrelor alone versus dual antiplatelet therapy from 1 month after drug-eluting coronary stenting
10 Nov 2019
One of the most discussed limitations of GLOBAL-LEADER is the lack of event adjudication so that the rate of MI, bleeding or stent thrombosis between the two groups were unknown. In this study, events were adjudicated in those patients from the 20 top-enrolling participating sites.
