One-year clinical outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention with very long ( ≥ 40mm) drug-eluting stent.

CONCLUSION: Use of very long stents (≥40mm) for diffuse coronary lesions is safe and effective with acceptably low event rates. No significant differences in event rates were observed between the types of DES used in this study (Sirolimus Vs. everolimus). PMID: 30595276 [PubMed - in process]
