Description
Summary:[...]generation DES have theoretical advantages over first-generation DES because of the thin-strut design, reduced polymer layer, and, potentially, the use of a novel drug. [...]the differences in mortality data between BMS patients and first- and second-generation DES patients in the current study are intriguing, but should raise concerns about unmeasured selection bias in the study despite the propensity analysis.
