(WikiDoc) - Both Paclitaxel- and Sirolimus-eluting stents (PES and SES) prove comparably safe and effective in a study of unprotected left main coronary artery disease (uLMCA). The results are published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The study's authors note both PES and SES have been shown to reduce the risk of restenosis but until now no study has shown how they stack up in patients with uLMCA. The study involved 607 patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease who were treated with either of the stents.
