Key result
Vessel size and DES type drive restenosis, with stent choice impacting small coronary vessels most.
Why the study?
Vessel size and drug-eluting stent type are important predictors of restenosis, with particular impact on small coronary vessels.
What are the predictive factors of restenosis after coronary implantation of sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stents?
What are the predictive factors of restenosis after coronary implantation of sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stents?
Vessel size and the specific type of drug-eluting stent are key predictors of restenosis, especially in small coronary vessels.
Should not yet guide stent selection by vessel size; leaves open whether specific drug-eluting stent types differentially affect small-vessel restenosis.
Vessel size and drug-eluting stent type are the most important predictors of angiographic and clinical restenosis, with drug-eluting stent type having a particular impact on restenosis of small coronary vessels.
