Abstract
While this decrease in the reintervention rate is not small, it is not that large either. It means that the re-intervention rate today is in the range of 20% if a completely unselected “true life” patient population is considered. And it is beyond doubt that the interventional community has eagerly waited for further developments to decrease this 20% reintervention rate.Keywords
