“…The restenosis rate in our patient cohort was comparable to recently published studies [5,27,28]. However, this rate can be considered surprisingly low, since we had included a high proportion of high-risk patients with unstable angina in 30% of the WS patients and 24% in the PS group and a high proportion of restenotic lesions.…”

“…There was a preselection bias in our study, with a higher incidence of right coronary artery location (53% vs. 12%) in the WS group and a high reference diameter of the target vessel in both stent groups, which are found to be negative predictors for restenosis [27][28][29]. The angiographic measurements revealed a strong correlation between stent-to-artery ratio and relative loss.…”

“…Comparing the outcome to balloon angioplasty of long lesions reported in previous studies, the clinical success rate was significantly better [1,2]. The late clinical outcome was promising with an event-free survival of 76% which is comparable to the results obtained with the self-expandable Wallstent [22,23].…”

“…Likewise, the balloon used for postdilatation can be positioned inside the stent to protect against dissections at the stent margins [7,8]. The clinical success rate is equal to or better than reported with other types of stents [15,[21][22][23] and only slightly lower than after stent implantations in shorter segments [5][6][7][8]. However, the extensive experience of the operators with all different Micro Stents (Ͼ700 implants until now, Ͼ200 implants during the study period) may have contributed to this favorable outcome [7,8].…”

“…Lengths of stent up to 49 mm and diameters up to 5 mm are now available, allowing complete coverage of long lesions with the minimum number of stents. Intravascular ultrasound has clarified the role of oversizing and highpressure balloon inflations postdeployment in ensuring complete apposition of the stent with the vessel wall [11][12][13], with an associated reduction in acute stent thrombosis. This has occurred in parallel with the transition from the use of an aggressive anticoagulation regimen [3,9] to one that is focused on preventing platelet aggregation [14,15].…”
