Description
Summary:When bare-metal stents are used, diabetic patients with coronary artery disease have a poorer prognosis than non-diabetic patients after coronary interventions. In clinical studies, it could be demonstrated that the disadvantage for diabetic patients is not present when drug-eluting stents are used. Today, two types of drug-eluting stents are clinically used: the sirolimus-eluting stent (Cypher(TM)) and the paclitaxel-eluting stent (Taxus(TM)). Even the high risk group of patients with in-stent stenosis can be efficiently treated with drugeluting stents.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
