Abstract:
Patients with diabetes mellitus and extensive coronary artery disease generally had worse outcomes with early generation drug eluting stents (DES) as compared to coronary artery bypass grafting. Initial results with Amphilimus eluting coronary stent in patients with diabetes have been promising in small studies The data from Sardella et al. should be used, in conjunction with previous clinical studies with this DES type, as hypothesis generating for a large multicenter randomized trial to aid in our quest to find the "new diabetic stent."
