Abstract
The cumulative experience of 4 clinical trials using the MULTI-LINK coronary stent design was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression identified postprocedure in-stent minimum lumen diameter (p = 0.0001), stent length (p = 0.0038), smoking (p = 0.0105). and diabetes (p = 0.0803) as the most important predictors of in-stent restenosis at late (6- to 9-month) angiographic follow-up.
