Stent placement for non-STRESS/BENESTENT lesions: A critical review

Stenting lesions with favorable characteristics as required for inclusion in the STRESS/BENESTENT trials have yielded superior results to that of PTCA alone. Results for less favorable lesions such as in small vessels, diffuse disease, ostial disease, and saphenous vein grafts are less well establis...

Description
Summary:Stenting lesions with favorable characteristics as required for inclusion in the STRESS/BENESTENT trials have yielded superior results to that of PTCA alone. Results for less favorable lesions such as in small vessels, diffuse disease, ostial disease, and saphenous vein grafts are less well established. This review seeks to analyze available data for stent placement in this subset of non‐STRESS/BENESTENT lesions. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:223–233, 2000. © 2000 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
