Durable-polymer versus biodegradable-polymer drug-eluting stents in acute coronary syndromes: three-year outcomes of the HOST REDUCE POLYTECH RCT Trial
20 Jun 2024
This trial found that, in ACS patients undergoing PCI, DP-DES and BP-DES had similar patient-oriented outcomes at three years, but BP-DES had higher device-oriented composite outcomes, mainly due to increased TLR risk.
