Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Intravascular ultrasound studies were performed at angiographic follow-up on 121 native coronary lesions treated with 1 bare metal stent (n = 50), high-dose dexamethasone-eluting stents (n = 18), non-polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stents (n = 18), or sirolimus-eluting stents (n = 35). Paclitaxel- and sirolimus-eluting stents reduced mean intimal hyperplasia thickness compared with bare metal stents by 49% and 90% (p = 0.048 and p <0.001), respectively, whereas mean intimal hyperplasia thickness treated with dexamethasone-eluting stents was similar to those lesions treated with bare metal stents.
