Incidence of late‐acquired stent malapposition of drug eluting stents with second generation permanent and biodegradable polymer coatings—A prospective, randomized comparison using optical coherence tomography

Abstract: Objectives and Background: Polymer coatings of drug-eluting stents (DES) may induce allergic reactions and inflammation, resulting in late-acquired stent malapposition (LASM) with the risk of stent thrombosis. This study evaluated, if biodegradable polymer (BP) reduces the incidence of LASM compared to permanent polymer (PP) after treatment with newer generation DES. Methods and Results: Fifty patients with 59 lesions were randomized (2:1) to elective treatment with second generation PP-DES (n = 32, 39 stents)… Show more
