Abstract:
Amin and colleagues have attempted to estimate the cost savings to the US health-care system if drug-eluting coronary stents were more selectively used in patients at low risk of restenosis. Their results and conclusions raise statistical, societal, and ethical issues that need to be considered before this approach should be widely embraced.
