First-in-man use of polymer-free valsartan-eluting stents in small coronary vessels: a comparison to polymer-free rapamycin (2%)-eluting stents
Introduction. Orally administered angiotensin receptor antagonists administered after bare-metal stent implantation and even after drug-eluting stent implantation seem to lower in-stent restenosis rates.Whether valsartan-eluting stents are similarly effective was tested here in a first-in-man trial....
