Randomized Controlled Trial
Drug-eluting stents in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (SENIOR): a randomised single-blind trial.
Elderly patients regularly receive bare-metal stents (BMS) instead of drug-eluting stents (DES) to shorten the duration of double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The aim of this study was to compare outcomes between these two types of stents with a short duration of DAPT in such patients. ⋯ Boston Scientific.
