Sirolimus-eluting stents exhibit incomplete neointimal coverage

Kotani J et al. (2006) Incomplete neointimal coverage of sirolimus-eluting stents: angioscopic findings. J Am Coll Cardiol 47: 2108–2111 Sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) inhibit neointimal hyperplasia, and are therefore associated with a lower risk of restenosis than bare-metal stents (BMSs).
