Randomized study to assess the effectiveness of slow- and moderate-release polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stents for coronary artery lesions.
BACKGROUND: Early clinical studies demonstrated the feasibility of local paclitaxel delivery in reducing restenosis after treatment of de novo coronary lesions in small patient populations. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind trial of 536 patients at 38 medical centers eval...
