Does stent size predict 10-year stent-related adverse outcomes after coronary drug-eluting stent implantation?
Stent size and specific patient/lesion characteristics are important predictors of 10-year adverse outcomes after drug-eluting stent implantation, which can be used to improve individual risk estimation.
Ten-year outcomes show large variations depending on the stent size and a few patient and lesion characteristics. The calculation of a PS from these unambiguous variables may be used to improve the risk estimate in individual lesions and patients.
Kjøller‐Hansen et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
