Stent Choice Matters
Small differences between stents can be the determining factor on whether clinical outcomes are optimal over the short and long-term.1,2
There’s a Whole World of Evidence in Support of the XIENCE™ Stent
Clinicians have long had confidence in XIENCE™ Stent, which industry experts consider to be the gold standard. XIENCE™ Stent is the world's leading DES, with over 20 million implants, consistently delivering outstanding short- and long-term outcomes.1,3




The XIENCE™ Stent difference results not just from a unique stent design but from a unique fluoropolymer coating. This coating is a key differentiator from other DES, resulting in thromboresistance, and minimal inflammatory response with XIENCE™ Stents.2,5
Peak Performance with XIENCE™ Stent
The XIENCE™ Stent is effective in a wide range of patients—from simple lesions to complex lesions, and from lower risk individuals to higher risk patients like those with diabetes.6
Here are a few of the features that contribute to XIENCE™ Stent quality and performance:7
- Excellent deliverability
- Ultra-low stent crossing profile (0.0390")
- XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent's unique design to post dilate to 5.75 mm
- Flexible and conformable MULTI-LINK design
- Minimal stent shortening when deployed
