  • Six-month results of the NEVO Res-Elution I (NEVO RES-I) trial: a randomized, multicenter comparison of the NEVO sirolimus-eluting coronary stent with the TAXUS Liberté paclitaxel-eluting stent in de novo native coronary artery lesions.

    Ormiston JA, Abizaid A, Spertus J, Fajadet J, Mauri L, Schofer J, Verheye S, Dens J, Thuesen L, Dubois C, Hoffmann R, Wijns W, Fitzgerald PJ, Popma JJ, Macours N, Cebrian A, Stoll HP, Rogers C, Spaulding C. Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2010; 3 (6): 556-64

    Drug-eluting stents reduce restenosis and reintervention rates but are complicated by stent thrombosis, which may be related to polymer coating. The NEVO sirolimus-eluting coronary stent (NEVO SES) is designed to improve long-term percutaneous coronary intervention safety by combining sirolimus release from reservoirs with bioabsorbable polymer to reduce spatial and temporal polymer exposure.
