Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Biodegradable- Versus Durable-Polymer-Coated Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Real-World Post-Marketing Study.

Background: Long-term clinical data on biodegradable-polymer (BP) drug-eluting stents (DES) are limited. The objective of this study was to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the BP-DES SYNERGY compared to XIENCE V, a durable-polymer (DP)-DES.

Methods: We compared patients treated with BP-DES or DP-DES at our center from 2008 to 2020.
