Safety and efficacy of biodegradable drug-eluting vs. bare metal stents: a meta-analysis from randomized trials.
BACKGROUND: Biodegradable polymeric coatings have been proposed as a promising strategy to enhance biocompatibility and improve the delayed healing in the vessel. However, the efficacy and safety of biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) vs. bare metal stents (BMS) are unknown. The aim o...
