Permanent polymer zotarolimus vs. polymer-free amphilimus stent

ReCre8
Objective
to compare the clinical safety and efficacy of polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stents (PF-AES) with permanent-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stents (PP-ZES)
Study
physician-initiated, prospective multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial (1:1; margin 3.5%)
Population
all-comers
Endpoints
target lesion failure as cardiac death, target-vessel MI or target-lesion revascularisation at 12 months
Conclusion
