Randomized Controlled Trial Meta Analysis Comparative StudyBare-metal stent versus drug-eluting stent in large coronary arteries: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Uncertainties exist with regard to the efficacy of drug-eluting stent (DES) versus bare-metal stent (BMS) in large coronary arteries. ⋯ This meta-analysis suggests that DES is superior to BMS in terms of adverse cardiac events in large coronary arteries at the mid-term follow-up. The long-term efficacy of newer-generation DES versus BMS in larger coronary arteries is still worth further evaluation.
