Does placement of a self-expanding coronary-artery stent prevent occlusion or restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease?
Patients with coronary artery disease
Placement of a self-expanding coronary-artery stent
Early occlusion, late occlusions, or restenosissurrogate
The use of self-expanding coronary-artery stents is limited by frequent early and late occlusions or restenosis, leaving their clinical utility uncertain.
Early occlusion remains an important limitation of this coronary-artery stent. Even when the early effects are beneficial, there are frequently late occlusions or restenosis. The place of this form of treatment for coronary artery disease remains to be determined.
