TRYTON: Stent dedicated to bifurcations fails to demonstrate non-inferiority when compared with provisional

The aim of this study was to compare the results of stent TRYTON (non-drug eluting) in the side branch associated with the implantation of a drug-eluting stent in the main branch compared to the drug-eluting stent implantation in the main branch with provisional stent technique.704 patients were included with the intention of demonstrating non-inferiority versus...

SORT OUT VI: Biolimus eluting stent versus zotarolimus-eluting stent; similar results

Few studies have compared head to head the 2nd generation drug eluting stents. This study randomized 1:1 3671 patients to receive a biolimus eluting stent with biodegradable polymer (1880 patients) versus zotarolimus-eluting stent with biocompatible polymer (1791 patients). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of clinical or angiographic features. Approximately...
