The objective of this independent study was to evaluate restenosis rates of drug-eluting stents in patients with and without diabetes in a real-world setting. The JACC article reported that both the TAXUS Liberte Stent and Boston Scientific's first-generation DES -- the TAXUS(R) Express(R) Stent -- were the only stents in the study showing no increased risk of restenosis for patients with diabetes as compared to those without diabetes.
