Abstract

The author reflects on a study, conducted by W.E. Boden and colleagues, which compares the effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) and OMT alone for preventing cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). He views that the use of drug-eluting stents (DLS) in the study was suboptimal; however, no evidence exists that DLS decrease the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) compared with bare-metal stents.
