The drug-eluting stent information gap
Abstract
Drug-eluting stents are quickly replacing bare-metal stents as the arterial revascularization device of choice. Because nearly all the information we have about patient outcomes with drug-eluting stents is from trials designed for US Food and Drug Administration approval, we are missing some of the information critical to a more comprehensive understanding of how these new devices will perform at the population level.
