Does placement of an intracoronary stent improve procedural success and reduce restenosis compared with balloon angioplasty in selected patients with coronary artery disease?

Procedural success, angiographically detected restenosis, clinical events, and need for revascularization of the original coronary lesion
In selected patients with coronary artery disease, intracoronary stenting improves procedural success and reduces restenosis and the need for repeat revascularization compared to balloon angioplasty.
In selected patients, placement of an intracoronary stent, as compared with balloon angioplasty, results in an improved rate of procedural success, a lower rate of angiographically detected restenosis, a similar rate of clinical events after six months, and a less frequent need for revascularization of the original coronary lesion.
