Comparison of Drug-Eluting Stents With Bare-Metal Stents for PCI of Saphenous Vein Graft Lesions: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
11/15/2016
The results of this large meta-analysis suggest that patients with DES (n = 39,213) in comparison with BMS implantation (n = 26,461) for PCI to SVG lesions had lower MACE, all-cause mortality, and TVR rates, without a significant reduction in...
