Drug-Eluting Stents for Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract: BackgroundDrug-eluting stents (DES) are increasingly used for treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, clinical efficacy and safety of various types of DES is not well established in these subjects. We therefore evaluated clinical utility of second-generation and first-generation DES in patients with ACS by conducting a meta-analysis.MethodsA search of Medline, Embase, the Cochrane databases, and Web of Science was made. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which compared second-generation DES (ever… Show more

“…Similar observations for the population of ACS have been published previously, 18 , 24 suggesting that, for the treatment of STEMI, all (first- and second-generation) DES show similar results, notwithstanding higher late lumen loss, restenosis and thrombosis rates for first-generation DES. It seems that the PCI in ACS is similarly efficient regardless of the type of eluting drug.…”
