Abstract
Long coronary artery lesions are increasingly treated with new technologies including current generation drug eluting stents (DES) despite a lack of robust data on outcomes. In the current study, patients receiving Xience V DES for very long lesions (>35 mm) compared to lesions 25-35 mm had similar outcomes. Future research should address late outcomes, stent thrombosis rates, as well as investigation of lesions greater than 60 mm.Entities:
