摘要
The clinical and economic analysis by Eisenstein et al. (1) in this issue of JACC- Cardiovascular Interventions is a welcome addition to the collective literature on the cost-effectiveness of drug-eluting stents (DES). There are limited trial data regarding this topic, and most appraisals have been based on registry assessments. Eisenstein et al. (1) present the long-term clinical and economic analysis of a trial comparing a DES (zotarolimus, Endeavor, Medtronic CardioVascular, Santa Rosa, California) versus a bare-metal stent (BMS) (Driver, Medtronic CardioVascular). The Inclusion of data up to 4 years post-index procedure is particularly important given concerns with late stent thrombosis with DES.
