Long‐term follow‐up of polytetrafluoroethylene‐covered stents implanted during percutaneous coronary intervention for management of acute coronary perforation

Abstract

Utilization of a PTFE-covered stent may be a reasonable short- and long-term option to manage acute coronary perforation that occurs during PCI. On the basis of this limited experience, successful PTFE-covered stent deployment as the conclusive treatment for coronary perforation is associated with a favorable long-term event-free survival rate.
