Introduction

New-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), including both biodegradable and durable polymer stents, are currently recommended as a default strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A meta-analysis of 16 contemporary randomised DES trials demonstrated similar safety and efficacy of biodegradable polymer DES with respect to stent-related coronary events up to a mean follow-up period of 26 months compared to current-generation durable polymer DES, suggesting no clinical benefit of biodegradable polymer at least at two-year follow-up1. The Firehawk® (Shanghai MicroPort® Medical (Group), Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) is a thin-strut coronary stent with sirolimus and biodegradable polymer complex localised in abluminal grooves ...
