Background: Biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents with biodegradable polymer coatings have shown reduced
restenosis rates and low rates of stent thrombosis. The present post marketing retrospective study assessed clinical
outcomes of patients who had received eucaLimus DES in real practice.
Aim: To investigate 2-year clinical outcomes of eucaLimus DES in real practice.
Methods: Data obtained from a two-center cohort of patients who had received eucaLimus stents between February
2016 to September 2018 as part of routine treatment of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) were retrospectively
investigated at follow-up of 27.8 months ± 5.2 months. The primary study endpoint was to determine the rate of
Target Lesion Failure (TLF) defined as the aggregate of cardiac death, target vessel Q-wave or non Q-wav.. View More»
