evaluation of coronary artery stents less than 3 mm, and evaluation of asymptomatic patients post CABG less than 5 years old and post sent placement less than 2 years old (Bell et al, 2018).
When treating coronary artery disease with angioplasty or stents, the recurrence of coronary artery blockage at the site of treatment remains a significant risk. Recurrent coronary stenosis occurs in 20 to 30 % of patients in whom stents have been implanted for the treatment of obstructive lesions;...
BackgroundAlthough stents have been shown to reduce the need for repeated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in randomized trials, the effects of
The types of PCI were classified from HIRA claims as drug-eluting stents (codes J5083 or J8083), bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (code J5084), bare-metal stents (codes J5231, J5232, or J8231), or non-stent coronary balloon angioplasty if stent codes were not documented. The clinical endp...
