Letter to the Editor
May 2003
Editor’s note: Reader Mike Martin wrote us regarding the article recommended in CLD’s March Email Discussion Group on drug-eluting stents (DES), pages 60-64. The article reference is reprinted below.
Gunn J, Morton AC, Wales C, et al. Drug eluting stents: maximizing benefit and minimizing cost. Heart 2003;89:127-131.
This is the only rational approach to DES! It’s one that we plan to follow. I will be watching the use of DES very closely and speaking to each physician who seems to be deploying them inappropriately.
