Recently, sirolimus-eluting stents implantation has been shown to
decrease restenosis markedly in selected patients. Nonetheless, the
effects of SES implantation in complex, unselected patients, such
as those commonly treated in daily practice ('the real world'),
remains largely unknown. This book comprehensively evaluates the
impact of SES implantation on the outcomes of patients treated in
the real world of interventional cardiology. The authors have
evaluated in detail the short- and long-term outcomes of several
high-risk subsets not currently included in randomized trials.
While it is specific to sirolimus, the book covers the major
competing drug eluting stents, including paclitaxel.
