Abstract

The long-term outcome of treatment with sirolimus-eluting stents, as compared with bare-metal stents is evaluated by analyzing the data obtained from randomized trials. The results have shown that the use of sirolimus-eluting stents have no significant effect on overall long-term survival and survival free of myocardial infarction, as compared with bare-metal stents, but the risk of stent thrombosis is at least as great as that observed with bare-metal stents.
