Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Cypher and Taxus drug eluting stent (DES)in the treatment of coronary artery diease. Methods A total 162 patients underwent coronary artery stenting with eigher the Cypher (n=93) or the Taxus (n=69) drug eluting stent. All patients received follow up angiography. Results The angiographic restenosis rate and TLR rate were 10.8% and 5.4% in the Cypher group whereas 11.6% and 5.8% in the Taxus group. There were no statistical differences between the two groups. In-Stent Late Loss and In-Lesion Late Loss were found less in the Cypher group than in the Taxus group. Conclusion Both the Cypher DES and the Taxus DES decreased the restenosis and TLR rates but the Cypher stent has a lower late loss rate than the Taxus stent.
