Abstract
The introduction and refinement of coronary-artery stenting dramatically changed the practice of percutaneous coronary revascularization in the mid-1990s. We analyzed one-year follow-up data for all percutaneous coronary interventions performed in a large, unselected population in Canada to determine whether the use of coronary stenting has been associated with improved outcomes.Keywords
