Why the study?
Does a uniform single-operator PCI approach using sirolimus-eluting stents with oversizing, high-pressure deployment, and long-term dual antiplatelet therapy result in favorable long-term event-free survival and low stent thrombosis rates?

Supports favorable 24-month outcomes with this SES PCI technique; leaves open randomized confirmation of stent combination effects.
Does a uniform single-operator PCI approach using sirolimus-eluting stents with oversizing, high-pressure deployment, and long-term dual antiplatelet therapy result in favorable long-term event-free survival and low stent thrombosis rates?
A uniform PCI technique using sirolimus-eluting stents with high-pressure deployment, oversizing, and prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy yields excellent long-term event-free survival and very low stent thrombosis rates.
