• The Endeavour DES is generally regarded as being superseded by newer technologies.
• The ZEUS study, however, suggests the Endeavour stent may have a role in patients who are uncertain candidates for a DES because of high bleeding or thrombosis risk or a low risk of stent thrombosis. ZEUS investigators suggest these patients constitute 30% of all-comers in real-world practice.
• The benefits of the Endeavour stent included an unexpected reduction in the risk of early and late stent thrombosis.
• It may be appropriate to re-introduce the Endeavour stent into practice, and tailor the duration of DAPT to individual patients’ risk features.
