- Abstract
Aims: Percutaneous coronary intervention with bare metal stent (BMS) in chronic total coronary occlusions (CTOs) is associated with a higher rate of angiographic restenosis and reocclusion than that observed in subtotal stenoses. Preliminary reports have suggested a better performance of drug-eluting stents in CTO. In this multicentre, randomized trial, we compared the mid-term angiographic and clinical outcome of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) or BMS implantation after successful recanalization of CTO.
