Description
Summary:Methods We used data on PCI procedures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service's Chronic Condition Warehouse (n=3,250,836) to compare patient characteristics and rates of 3-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as death, myocardial infarction (MI), or repeat revascularization across the balloon angioplasty (POBA) era (January 1991-September 1995), the bare metal stent (BMS) era (February 1998-April 2003), and the drug-eluting stent (DES) era (May 2004-October 2006).
