Effect of Increasing Stent Length on 3-Year Clinical Outcomes in Women Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With New-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents: Patient-Level Pooled Analysis of Randomized Trials From the WIN-DES Initiative
Conclusions
In this pooled analysis of women undergoing PCI with new-generation DES, increasing stent length per patient and per lesion were independent predictors of 3-year MACE but were not associated with definite or probable stent thrombosis.
