title: Angiographic restenosis rate in patients with chronic total occlusions and subtotal stenoses after initially successful intracoronary stent placement.
abstract: The 5-month angiographic in-stent restenosis rate did not differ between patients with chronic total occlusions (n = 43) and subtotal stenoses (n = 43) equally matched for diabetes status, exact stent design, final expanded stent diameter, stent length, and residual percent diameter stenosis after stent placement; it was 32.5% and 27.9% for those with chronic total occlusions and subtotal stenoses, respectively (p = 0.638). Furthermore, the stent occlusion rate (4.6% vs 6.9%, respectively) was low in both patient groups.
