Sirolimus-Eluting vs Uncoated Stents for Prevention of Restenosis in Small Coronary Arteries

Abstract

Context Percutaneous coronary revascularization of small vessels is associated with a high restenosis rate. Sirolimus-eluting stents reduce restenosis in simple and previously untreated lesions of large coronary arteries, but their outcomes in small vessels have not been adequately investigated.
