SAN FRANCISCO — A biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent remained superior to a durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent for treating STEMI at 5 years, a difference driven by lower rates of ischemia-driven repeat revascularizations.

Tangible Science announced the rollout of Unity BioSync, daily disposable contact lenses co-developed with VSP Optics.

PARIS — Biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stents were superior to durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents with regard to target lesion failure among patients with STEMI who underwent PCI, according to 1-year results of the BIOSTEMI trial presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.
