Abstract:
Successful implementation of evidence-based medicine in the development of high-risk medical devices requires a methodical scientific approach. However, even when research evidence is available from randomised controlled studies, it can be difficult to translate clinical evidence into regulatory and clinical decisions. Drug-eluting stents are used as an example to illustrate this principle.
