Previous randomized trials have shown the efficacy of a slow-release polymeric sirolimus-eluting stent (CYPHER, Cordis, Warren, NJ, USA), paclitaxel-eluting stent (TAXUS, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA), and zotarolimus-eluting stent (Endeavor, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) over bare metal stents in reducing neointimal hyperplasia, late luminal loss, and angiographic restenosis leading to decreased target lesion revascularization. The everolimus-eluting stent (XIENCE V, Abott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA, PROMUS, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) is a newly developed drug eluting stent using the MULTILINK VISION® stent platform combined with the drug everolimus contained in a polymer coating.
