COMMENT: FREEK VERHEUGT, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Nijmegen

The GRACE registry looking at over 60 000 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction has shown that patients live longer if they receive bare metal stents than if they get drug eluting stents. Gabriel Steg presented these latest data at the ESC meeting in Vienna. Sarah Maxwell discussed the findings with him.
