A meta-analysis on the clinical and angiographic outcomes of stents vs PTCA in the different coronary vessels in the benestent-1 and stress 1 and 2 trials

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the clinical and angiographic outcomes of stents versus PTCA in coronary vessels.
• Conducted a meta-analysis of data from benestent-1, stress 1, and stress 2 trials.
• Focus on clinical and angiographic outcomes across various coronary vessels.
• Performed statistical analyses to synthesize trial results.
• Stenting showed improved angiographic outcomes compared to PTCA across different coronary vessels.
• Clinical outcomes were more favorable for stenting in certain populations, as indicated by lower adverse event rates.
