Stent Placement Compared with Balloon Angioplasty for Obstructed Coronary Bypass Grafts

Abstract

As compared with balloon angioplasty, stenting of selected venous bypass-graft lesions resulted in superior procedural outcomes, a larger gain in luminal diameter, and a reduction in major cardiac events. However, there was no significant benefit in the rate of angiographic restenosis, which was the primary end point of the study.
