STENT PANORAMA is a project carried out by the Young Interventional Cardiologists of Triveneto coordinated by the Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GISE) Veneto delegation. The project includes two parts: the first, here reported, is aimed at describing in a standardized and easily usable way the main technological characteristics of the latest generation of the drug eluting stents (DES) that are most widely used in the Italian cath-labs. The second, to follow, will aim to summarize the main scientific evidence regarding the performance of individual devices with particular reference to subgroups of clinical interest. The ambitious goal of the STENT PANORAMA working group is to provide the interventional cardiologist with a thorough, practical, and functional knowledge of the DES currently available in the modern therapeutic armamentarium to promote a therapeutic strategy tailored to the patient.
