Safety and Efficacy of Resolute Zotarolimus-Eluting Stents Compared With Everolimus-Eluting Stents

Safety and efficacy of resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents compared with everolimus-eluting stents: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Although new-generation drug-eluting stents represent the standard of care among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, there remains debate about differences in efficacy and the risk of stent thrombosis between the Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stent (R-ZES) and the everolimus-eluting stent (EES). The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the R...

Everolimus-eluting Xience v/Promus versus zotarolimus-eluting resolute stents in patients with diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare everolimus-eluting stents (EES) versus Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) in terms of patient- or stent-related clinical outcomes in an "all-comer" group of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. BACKGROUND DM significantly increases the risk of adverse events after percutaneous coronary interventio...

Comparison of zotarolimus-eluting and everolimus-eluting coronary stents.

BACKGROUND New-generation coronary stents that release zotarolimus or everolimus have been shown to reduce the risk of restenosis. However, it is unclear whether there are differences in efficacy and safety between the two types of stents on the basis of prospectively adjudicated end points endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration. METHODS In this multicenter, noninferiority trial with mi...

Clinical safety and efficacy of everolimus-eluting stents compared to paclitaxel-eluting stents in patients with coronary artery disease.

BACKGROUND the everolimus-eluting stent (EES) is a second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) which is designed to provide better stent deliverability, deployment, safety, and efficacy. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the relative safety and efficacy of the EES compared with the paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES). METHODS the published literature was scanned by formal searches of electro...
