Does post-dilatation during angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention improve clinical outcomes? - results of systematical patient outcome monitoring

CONCLUSIONS: A liberal post-dilatation strategy after PCI was associated with a significant decrease in 30-day MACE, 30-day MI, 30-day mortality and 1-year mortality. Future studies are warranted to validate the causality between post-dilatation and improvement of clinical outcomes.PMID:37979617 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.11.004
