CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent benefits from clinical success, worldwide growth in 2005

New data from a Spanish study presented at the 2005 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions found that patients with bifurcation lesions fared significantly better when treated with the CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent compared with the Taxus stent in the areas of late loss, re-treatment (total lesion revascularization or TLR) and re-blockage (restenosis). Bifurcated lesions are difficult to treat because the lesion is divided between two branches of the artery.
