Dear Editor,
We read with interest the systematic review on drug-eluting stents (DES) by Hill et al.1 The early data available indicate that DES reduce in-stent restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), mainly revascularizations. Although diabetes mellitus represents a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, no specific
