Lesion length impacts long term outcomes of drug-eluting stents and bare metal stents differently.

Lesion length impacts long term outcomes of drug-eluting stents and bare metal stents differently.

BACKGROUND: Long lesions have been associated with adverse outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions with bare metal stents (BMS). However, the exact impact of lesion length on the short- and long-term outcomes of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantations is not as clear. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thi...
