Abstract:
Drug-eluting stents have rapidly come to dominate the field of coronary intervention, constituting 85% of the US market just one year after introduction. The current utilization of bare metal stents in coronary intervention in the US is quite limited. This article will review technological advances in third-generation bare metal stents, which optimize procedural performance by means of improved flexibility, lower crossing profile, and thinner struts while maintaining fluoroscopic visibility and may portend a continued role for bare metal stents in some settings. This article will review data pertaining to outcomes with new generation bare metal stents and discuss current options for utilization of drug eluting stents versus bare metal stents in the US.
