Summary
1. Mechanism of stent pain is unclear
2. Marketing is directed at getting you to believe that “soft” (silicone) equates to less pain/discomfort
3. Only direct comparison of polyurethane to silicone (Pryor 1991) showed no difference in sxs
4. When looking at the three studies that used USSQ to compare variety of different stents - essentially no substantial differences were seen.
