<h4>Aims</h4>Simple surface modifications can enhance coronary stent performance. Ultra-hydrophilic surface (UHS) treatment of contemporary bare metal stents (BMS) was assessed in vivo to verify whether such stents can provide long-term efficacy comparable to second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) while promoting healing comparably to BMS.<h4>Methods and results</h4>UHS-treated BMS, untreated BMS and corresponding DES were tested for three commercial platforms.
