Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are both well-established minimally invasive revascularization strategies in patients with proximal left anterior descending (LAD) ...
12 lip 2004 · We found that in patients with a single LAD stenosis, implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents, compared with bare-metal stents, decreases neointimal hyperplasia, angiographic restenosis, and clinical events at 12 months with no additional adverse events.
