Summary

Context: Sirolimus-eluting stents and paclitaxel-eluting stents, as compared with bare-metal stents, reduce the risk of restenosis. It is unclear whether there are differences in safety and efficacy between the two types of drug-eluting stents. Objective: To determine differences in safety and efficacy between sirolimus and paclitaxel eluting stents.

Detailed description

Design: Randomized controlled, observer-blind trial comparing sirolimus-eluting stents with paclitaxel-eluting stents Patients: 1012 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The two groups had similar baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics.
