Does balloon-expandable-stent implantation improve clinical and angiographic outcomes compared to standard coronary balloon angioplasty in patients with coronary artery disease?

Clinical and angiographic outcomes
Balloon-expandable stenting provides better clinical and angiographic outcomes than standard balloon angioplasty in CAD patients, despite increased access site complications and longer hospital stays.
Over seven months of follow-up, the clinical and angiographic outcomes were better in patients who received a stent than in those who received standard coronary angioplasty. However, this benefit was achieved at the cost of a significantly higher risk of vascular complications at the access site and a longer hospital stay.
