BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increased clinical and angiographic restenosis in diabetic patients. Stent-based elution of paclitaxel from a biostable polymer reduces restenosis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) when compared with bare-metal stent deployment. The safety and efficacy of paclitaxel elution from a bioresorbable polymer has not been studied in diabetic patients.
