Safety and Efficacy of Different Stent Strategies in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The utility of polymer-permanent, polymer-absorbable, and polymer-free drug-eluting stents (DES) in the context of different eluting drugs in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of different DES strategies in post-PCI patients.

Methods

Digital databases were searched to select all randomized control trials. Different combinations of DES were directly compared with permanent-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events; a composite of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization. A network meta-analysis was performed to determine the net relative risk (RR
