The publication in January 2001 of the first-in-man results showing zero restenosis after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation produced enormous excitement in the cardiological community. The long-awaited tool—a safe, restenosis-proof, easy-to-use stent— had been found. It was not too long thereafter that paclitaxel-eluting stents also demonstrated their capability to decrease restenosis.
