One-year clinical outcome of amphilimus polymer-free drug-eluting stent in diabetes mellitus patients: Insight from the ASTUTE registry (AmphilimuS iTalian mUlticenTre rEgistry)

Despite several improvements in drug-eluting stent (DES) technology, patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are affected by higher rate of adverse events after PCI with DES, mainly in terms of target lesion revascularization (TLR). The Cre8 stent, a polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent (AES), has shown promising preliminary results in DM patients. The ASTUTE registry was conceived to assess clinical performance of this polymer-free AES in DM in a "real-world" multicenter-independent cohort of patients.
