Procedural Performance of Ultrathin, Biodegradable Polymer-Coated Stents Versus Durable Polymer-Coated Stents Based on Intracoronary Imaging

Salman S. Allana , MD;

Whether saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) should be occluded after successful chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the corresponding native vessel remains controversial.

Whether saphenous vein grafts...
