ABSTRACT

The impact of SES implantation on the risk of subsequent clinically driven target vessel revascularization in specific subsets is shown in Figure 3.3. Sirolimus-eluting stent implantation was associated with a risk reduction that ranged from 28% to 79% across the subgroups evaluated. However, the benefit
