Promus Premier Versus Xience V and Taxus Liberte in Contemporary United States Practice (REWARDS Premier Registry)

Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce in-stent restenosis and repeat revascularization in comparison to bare metal stents. Individual DES vary, however, in regard to rates of restenosis, stent thrombosis; they also differ in regard to their platform and physical characteristics. The Promus Premier was designed to improve the performance of the Promus Element, with respect to conformability, trackability, and avoidance of longitudinal stent deformation; there is little published data, however, on clinical outcomes with Promus Premier.
