Objectives | Dens | STENOSES | Academic Editor: Joseph Dens The aim of this retrospective analysis was to compare the patient outcome after interventional therapy of saphenous vein graft (SVG) stenoses in an all-comers population receiving either self-expanding drug-eluting stents (SExS) or balloon expanding drug-eluting stents (BExS). | PMC10101740 |
Background | friable | CARDIAC EVENT, DEGENERATED | The interventional therapy of degenerated SVGs remains challenging. Diameter variations of stenotic segments and friable plaques can lead to malapposition and distal embolization with increased major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates. | PMC10101740 |
Methods | 107 patients with a total of 130 SVG interventions were separated into two groups according to either SExS ( | PMC10101740 | ||
Results | Both patient groups did not differ significantly regarding patient characteristics. The patient outcome was significantly better in the SExS patient group: the MACE rate at 30 days was 1/51 (2.0%) in group SExS vs. 7/56 (12.5%) in group BExS; | PMC10101740 | ||
Conclusion | Our findings demonstrate that SVG treatment with SExS is safe and provides clinical benefits by comparatively improving short and especially long-term patient outcomes. | PMC10101740 | ||
