Summary In pre-clinical studies, the OrbusNeich Bio-engineered Sirolimus Eluting Stent (Combo Stent) demonstrated significantly lower neointimal hyperplasia improved endothelial coverage relative to other commercially available DES lower presence of inflammation and foreign body reaction appeared effective at inhibition of neointimal growth while enhancing endothelial coverage potentially resulting in low rates of in-stent restenosis comparable to commercially available DES and in reduced rates of late stent thrombosis Favorable preclinical data prompted initiation of the REMEDEE clinical trial 14 14
