Abstract:
This review of consecutive, single Palmaz-Schatz stent implantations reveals that coronary lesion angulation does not result in suboptimal results or increased restenosis after stenting. The implantation of a rigid stent at an arterial hinge point is associated with an increased restenosis rate.
