With a 16% reduction in MACE compared to the Cypher® Select™ stent at 2 years in LEADERS2.
With no late or very late stent thrombosis in STEALTH I out to 4 years4.
The BioMatrix Flex™ stent reduces the cardiac death rate by 50.5% compared to the Cypher® Select™ stent at 2 years3.
10 times better strut coverage of the BioMatrix Flex™ stent than the Cypher® Select™ stent at 9 months5-6.
The BioMatrix Flex™ stent achieves 96.4% of near to complete strut coverage.
More than 20 times better stent apposition of the BioMatrix Flex™ stent than the Cypher® Select™ stent at 9 months5-6.
In the animal model, the BioMatrix Flex™ stent achieves a similar level of re-endothelialization compared to its bare metal stent platform.
Abnormal vasomotion (vasoconstriction) was observed for the sirolimus eluting stent group after high pacing stimulation, while normal vasomotion (vasodilatation) was observed in the BA9™ eluting stent group.
