Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System
Increased Stent Fracture Resistance
Less Stent Fracture than Cobalt Alloy Stents Tested1
Bend Fatigue Bench Test1
The Promus PREMIER Coronary Stent is designed to be highly fracture resistant.1
Higher stent fracture rates have been associated with a higher level of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE).2
Clinical and Economic Impact of Stent Fracture
Stent fractures evaluated resulted in a 10x increase in MACE rate and an average additional cost of $3,539 per event.3
39 Total incidences of Xience V™ Stent Fracture (SF) = 2.9% of total lesions evaluated.2
