The Current Status of Stent Placement in Small Coronary Arteries
< 3.0 mm in Diameter

08/01/2008

Stent placement in coronary arteries >= 3.0 mm in diameter has been irrefutably proven to be superior to conventional balloon angioplasty (PTCA) in reducing the risk of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events.1–4 Subsequent...
