Long-term outcomes with paclitaxel-eluting stents versus bare metal stents in everyday practice: A Canadian experience
Abstract
BACKGROUND: In randomized trials, paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) are superior to bare metal stents (BMS) in reducing target lesion revascularization (TLR). However, recent reports suggest there may be an increase in late stent thrombosis with long-term follow-up in PES-treated patients.
