Key differences between the Promus Element and Synergy stent. In the thinner-strut Synergy stent, the drug and bioabsorbable poly-DL-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) polymer are applied to the abluminal stent surface only (A). The Synergy stent has different strut thickness, connector angle, and peak radius diameters, resulting in an enhanced stent platform (B). Panel (C) shows similar radiopacity between the stents despite reduced strut thickness in the Synergy stent.
