ClinConnect Summary

Randomized clinical trials and large-scale registry studies have shown that sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) decrease major adverse cardiovascular event(MACE)and restenosis rates compared with bare metal stents (BMSs), but relatively small proportion of patients of complex lesions were enrolled in these studies. Moreover,with the increase in complexity of lesions, different DES shows different effects. The long term effects of DES for treatment of complex coronary lesions remains to be established. This study aims to investigate the long term efficacy and safety of Firebird sirolimus-eluting...
