摘要
The phrase "off-label use" has been much overused, often in a negative sense. This is unfortunate. It is especially unfortunate in the case of drug-eluting stents, which are one of the greatest achievements of cardiovascular medicine. Clinical trials used for the approval of drug-eluting stents have been necessarily restricted to clearly defined subsets of a much larger population of diseased patients. Label indications, if they are strictly derived only from these clinical trials, will then inevitably be a small and imperfect reflection of a larger reality.
