Inferences:

1.Drug eluting stents are superior to bare metal stents in stable patients with non-complex coronary lesions.

2.Differences in types of patients in the randomized trials and post-FDA approval studies may explain the conflicting results. The latter group tended to have more advanced and more complex disease.

3.The use of stents off label (e.g., in patients with complex conditions such as multi-vessel disease) affects the performance of drug-eluting stents.

4.The risk of thrombosis associated with drug-eluting stents does not outweigh their advantages over bare metal stents in reducing the rates of repeated revascularization procedures.
