Abstract

Background: The polymer/carrier-free Biolimus A9 drug-coated BioFreedom® stent (Biosensors, Europe) has been shown to be superior to bare-metal stent in patients at high risk for bleeding. The sirolimus-eluting endothelial progenitor cell capture Combo® stent (OrbusNeich Medical, Florida) has also been shown to be safe with 1 month DAPT. Both stents are useful in patients with high bleeding risk requiring short duration of DAPT and unknown compliance to DAPT. However, the efficacy of Combo® stent compared to BioFreedom® stent is unknown.
