Abstract
Drug-eluting stents have revolutionised the treatment of coronary artery disease, delivering reduced rates of treatment failure across the range of disease presentations and allowing for the expansion of catheter-based revascularisation to patients with complex disease patterns.1 Nevertheless, the efficacy of these devices in preventing restenosis occurs at the expense of a delay in healing of the stented artery, which underlies, among other things, a small but relevant increase in late adverse events such as stent thromboses, at least with early-generation devices.
