Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the strut coverage patterns of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) after more than 12 months of implantation.
- The analysis included 66 stents from 40 patients, revealing that EES had significantly better tissue coverage and lower rates of uncovered and malapposed struts compared to first-generation DES.
- The findings suggest that EES demonstrate superior late strut coverage patterns, which might contribute to better clinical outcomes than first-generation DES.
