A retrospective analysis by the FDA of more than 900 patients has found no increased risk of myocardial infarction with the use of overlapping Cypher stents (sirolimus-eluting coronary stent, Cordis Corp.), leading the agency to approve revised labeling for the product.

The new labeling can be found at http://www.cypherusa.com/.
