High Non-Cardiac Death Incidence Should Be a Limitation of Drug-Eluting Stents Implantation? Insights from Recent Randomized Data.

Pooled data from these 6 trials showed a trend to low cardiac death vs. the comparator p = 0.08 in favor ( Figure 1 ) but a significant increase of non-cardiac death in the DES vs. comparator arm (5.5% vs. 3.8%, respectively, p = 0.000018) in favor to comparator Figure 2 .
