Stent “Hygiene”
Key Points
Studies demonstrate ideal Stent expansion with prolonged inflations.
Longer inflations, a mediator of greater stent expansion, lower immediate, subacute, and late stent failure.
Research should focus on components of stent deployment that optimize early and late stent outcomes.
