Implication

Historical 1997 insights offer no current clinical guidance; leaves open the need for contemporary stent reviews.

Key Points

To review ten years of international clinical experience with intracoronary and noncoronary stenting and identify priority targets for ongoing investigation.
Convened an international expert summit in January 1997 with interventional specialists from the United States, Europe, and Japan.
Evaluated animal and human pathologic specimens, stent structural designs (coil vs. slotted tube), delivery mechanics, and intravascular imaging.
Characterized complex anatomical and mechanical challenges in routine practice, including small vessel disease, bifurcation lesions, vein graft stenosis, and intrastent restenosis.
Developed a clinical algorithm for ultrasound-guided provisional stenting and established priorities for upcoming randomized trials in coronary and peripheral vascular beds.
