First-generation versus second-generation drug-eluting stents in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Conclusions: In CKD patients, the use of second-generation DES was associated with lower risk of long-term all-cause mortality, in stent restenosis and stent thrombosis as compared with first-generation DES. No differences were found regarding repeat revascularization, MI, and MACE. PMID: 30422052 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
