PROMUS PREMIER: new everolimus-eluting stent

The study aims to evaluate clinical, angiographic and IVUS results of the new platinum chromium everolimus stent. The new design of the device has additional proximal connectors to enhance the longitudinal strength where distortion is more common. Included were 100 patients with de novo coronary lesions and a reference diameter of 2.5 to 4 mm and a length of

Conclusion: Technical success was high with clinical, angiographic and IVUS showing safety and efficacy without observing any stent deformation.
