At present, percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation represents the default strategy to treat coronary artery disease in many institutions around the world. However, concerns regarding long-term safety of first-generation DES have prompted the development of novel DES systems such as the NEVO (TM) (Cordis Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Warren, NJ) sirolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer and reservoir technology. In the current report, we present, for the first time, a complete midterm invasive assessment of a patient treated with this novel device in the Res-Elution I study. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
