Meta Analysis
Safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents in women: a patient-level pooled analysis of randomised trials.
The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease have been assessed in several randomised trials. However, none of these trials were powered to assess the safety and efficacy of DES in women because only a small proportion of recruited participants were women. We therefore investigated the safety and efficacy of DES in female patients during long-term follow-up. ⋯ Women in Innovation Initiative of the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions.
