ABSTRACT

At follow-up, 7.9% of lesions had binary in-segment restenosis: 6.3% were located inside the stent (in-stent), 0.9% were located in the proximal edge, and the remaining 0.7% occurred at the distal edge. Significant univariate and multivariate predictors are shown in Table 20.2. In the multivariate analysis, the following variables were identified as independent predictors: treatment of in-stent restenosis, ostial location, diabetes mellitus, total stented length, reference diameter, and left anterior descending artery (Figure 20.1).
