Percutaneous coronary intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a catheter-based technique performed under fluoroscopic guidance to treat coronary artery disease and restore blood flow to the myocardium. During PCI, coronary vessel patency is generally achieved with drug-eluting stents, which are metallic scaffolds coated with a polymer that carry and gradually release an antiproliferative drug. In the present study, all participants underwent PCI with implantation of a thin-strut, cobalt-chromium, durable-fluorinated polymer, everolimus-eluting stent (XIENCE, Abbott), and received a course of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) ranging from 28 to 365 days after PCI.
