Stent placement compared with balloon angioplasty for small coronary arteries: In-hospital and 6-month clinical and angiographic results

Stenting has been demonstrated to be superior to balloon angioplasty in de novo focal lesions located in large native vessels. However, in small vessels, the benefit of stenting remains questionable. A total of 381 symptomatic patients with de novo focal lesion located on a small coronary segment ve...
