Vessel size and the specific type of drug-eluting stent are key predictors of restenosis, especially in small coronary vessels.
Abstract
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.
