 Drug-eluting coronary stents DES significantly reduced the rate of neointimal hyperplasia and in-stent restenosis ISR compared to bare metal stents BMS for the treatment of coronary artery disease. In addition, the continued evolution in scaffold and polymer design with concomitant improvements in antiplatelet therapy has improved the rates of late and very late stent thrombosis. However, despite novel metal scaffold technology, increasing operator experience, and improvement in adjunctive implantation techniques, the incidence of ISR in durable-polymer DES remains a problem, with 1-year rates as high as 12 to 15.
