Heart stent showdown: which Drug-Coated device and blood thinner plan works best?
NCT ID NCT00698607
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested two different drug-coated stents (everolimus-eluting vs. sirolimus-eluting) in 1,466 people with narrowed heart arteries. It also compared taking the blood thinner clopidogrel for 6 months versus 12 months after stent placement. The goal was to see which stent keeps arteries open longer and whether shorter blood thinner use is safe and effective.
