Why the study?

Does short stenting reduce the rate of target lesion restenosis compared to conventional stenting in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?

Structured PICO

Does short stenting reduce the rate of target lesion restenosis compared to conventional stenting in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?

P

Population

830 patients undergoing coronary stenting (400 consecutive patients with 464 lesions receiving short stents, and 430 patients receiving conventional stents selected via matched pairs analysis)

I

Intervention

Short stenting (shortest stent length to cover only segments with >30% reduction in vessel diameter)

C

Comparator

Conventional stenting (full coverage of a stenotic vessel segment)

O

Outcome

Rate of target lesion restenosis assessed by quantitative angiographysurrogate
