Survey: Would You Still Recommend Drug-Eluting Stents? - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today: "Drug-eluting stents essentially eliminated short-term restenosis as a complication of coronary angioplasty, but suddenly the coated devices have come under a cloud for possible late-term risks.
Cardiologists attending the European Society of Cardiology/World Congress of Cardiology in Barcelona last week were shocked by meta-analyses data that raised serious questions about the long-term safety of the devices.
This Medpage Today survey asks for your opinion about whether you still have confidence in the elective use of drug-eluting stents. "
