Comparison of biodegradable and durable polymer drug-eluting stents in acute coronary syndrome: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the safety and effectiveness between biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) and durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DP-DES) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Design

Meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) were considered the primary endpoint. Efficacy endpoints included target vessel revascularisation (TVR) and target lesion revascularisation (TLR). Safety endpoints included all-cause death, cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis (ST).

Methods

We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials for comparative studies of BP-DES and DP-DES in patients with
