Intracoronary implantation of the EES is associated with highly significant reductions in ST with concordant reductions in TVR and MI compared to non-EE-DES. Whether these effects apply to different patient subgroups and DES types merits further investigation.
Patients with IHMB after primary PCI have significantly increased 3-year rates of morbidity and mortality. Further investigation is warranted to understand the mechanisms underlying this relationship and to further improve outcomes in patients with ST-segment myocardial infarction.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
