Long-term outcomes after stent implantation in very small vessel coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in very small vessel lesions represent an intriguing aspect of coronary artery disease (CAD). Uncertainty still exists in stent implantation in very small caliber vessels. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients treated with 2.0-mm drug-eluting stent (DES).

Method

This retrospective observational study included 134 patients undergoing PCI with 2.0-mm zotarolimus DES from December 2016 to May 2020. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 2-year follow-up, which was composed of all-cause mortality, target vessel myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent predictors
