What is a Promus?

The PROMUS Element Plus Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System is a device/drug combination product consisting of a drug/polymer-coated balloon-expandable stent, pre- mounted on a Monorail (MR) or Over-The-Wire (OTW) delivery catheter. The stent is made from a platinum chromium alloy (PtCr).

What is the failure rate of the Resolute Onyx stent?

At one year, the rate of the composite primary endpoint – target vessel failure – was 4.5% for Resolute Onyx vs. 4.7% for Orsiro; a non-significant difference, meaning Resolute Onyx was non-inferior to Orsiro.

Is the Promus Premier stent safe for MRI?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Safety Information: Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that the Promus PREMIER Stent is MR Conditional for single and overlapped conditions up to 74 mm.
