Can a risk prediction nomogram based on clinical factors and DES substrate materials predict in-stent restenosis in patients with coronary heart disease?
A novel nomogram incorporating DES substrate materials alongside clinical and procedural factors shows good predictive value for assessing the risk of in-stent restenosis.
BMI, SBP, LVDD, number of target vessels, mean diameter of stent, and substrate materials of DES are independent predictors of ISR. The nomogram model exhibited good predictive value for ISR. This is the first study demonstrating the significance of substrate material selection for assessing the risk of ISR in patients. Future validation through prospective studies or larger sample sizes is still needed.
