Drug-eluting stents (DES) are currently being used in preference to bare stents in the public hospital system in ‘high risk’ lesions on the basis of cost-effectiveness analyses using data from trials which exaggerate their impact and do not include several categories of ‘high risk’. This study aimed to assess the real cost-effectiveness of DES using prospectively collected outcome data from consecutive patients in the immediate pre-DES era.
