BIOFLOW DAPT - Biodegradable-polymer or durable-polymer stents in patients at high bleeding risk: A randomized, open-label clinical trial
26 Aug 2023
Nicola Ryan reports on the BIOFLOW DAPT trial results presented during the ESC 2023 Congress in Amsterdam by Marco Valgimigli and published in Circulation.
BIOFLOW-DAPT is an open-label randomised trial comparing the safety and efficacy of a biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent with a durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent in high-bleeding risk patients...
