Conclusions: Nine years of clinical data attest to the safety and efficacy of TAXUS stents. Differences in outcome between Diabetic and Non-Diabetic patients based on the MOA is real, favouring Paclitaxel as the drug of choice. Late Loss drift associated with –olimus eluting stents remains an unresolved issue of possible clinical significance. The Two-Drug strategy affords dominant market share. BSC continues to assess the roles of a Two-Drug strategy in the DES pipeline.
