Abstract
With marked improvements in stent technology as adjunct to balloon angioplasty for multivessel coronary disease, several newer trials are currently in progress reviewing the optimal revascularization strategy. This review provides background from older studies and addresses the current progress and design of these newer trials.Keywords
