Abstract
There is a lack of data and absence of clear recommendations regarding the optimal treatment of lesions located at the anastomosis of internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts and native coronary arteries (CAs). The objective of this study was to assess the long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the ITA anastomosis according to delivered treatment, namely deployment of a drug-eluting stent (DES), bare-metal stent (BMS), or balloon angioplasty only (POBA).
