Waliszewski %J Archive of "Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease". %D 2019 %R 10.1177/1753944719826335 %X Polymer-free drug-eluting stents (DES) without permanent-polymer coating may be associated with rapid vessel healing, providing a rationale to reduce dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The aim of the current study was to compare vessel healing of a polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent (PF-SES), its bare metal stent (BMS) analogue to a permanent polymer-based sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) with proven effectiveness in porcine coronary arteries %K all-comers population %K polymer-free %K porcine model %K preclinical %K sirolimus %K ultra-thin strut bare metal stent %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6376525/
