NEW data presented at TCT and published by JAMA has affirmed excellent safety profile of zotarolimus-eluting stents. According to findings from several studies presented at the 25th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, patients with coronary artery disease who received an Endeavor or Resolute drug-eluting stent from Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) and subsequently interrupted their dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) earlier than current guidelines recommend experienced no increased risk of stent thrombosis at one year or more of follow up. Both devices elute the drug zotarolimus to reduce the risk of restenosis
