Results of endovascular treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease in patients with the different stent types

Abstract

Long-term results of endovascular treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease by using different revascularization strategies were analyzed in 171 patients. Duration of follow up ranged from 12 to 18 months. Complete revascularization of the myocardium was performed in 63, culprit vessel revascularization - in 86 and incomplete revascularization - in 22 patients. Patients received different types of stents: bare metal stents and drug eluting stents. The results of this study showed that drug eluting stents has low incidence of repeat PCI procedures and major adverse cardiac events in the long term follow up period regardless the strategy of revascularization had been used.
