Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Target for NA trial, which compares biodegradable polymer stents to second-generation drug-eluting stents for coronary intervention. While the results showed the biodegradable stents were non-inferior in preventing target lesion failure, questions remain regarding their real-world performance and procedural handling in clinical practice.
