First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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 stenting. The goal was to see which stent and which treatment duration better prevent artery re-narrowing and heart problems.
