title: Clinical and angiographic results of stenting for long coronary arterial atherosclerotic lesions.
abstract: A prospective registry of 187 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty with attempted long NIR stent delivery was performed. A successful stent delivery was achieved in 93% of cases with a low rate of major cardiovascular events, and 6-month follow-up showed low rates of clinical events, new revascularization procedures, and angiographic restenosis.
