Abstract
The Benestent1 and Stent Restenosis (STRESS)2 studies (Aug. 25 issue) raise important questions about strategies for coronary-stent placement. Should coronary stents be considered for all patients with new focal lesions in large coronary arteries that have a high likelihood of dissection,3 or should they be used only on a conditional basis if balloon angioplasty does not achieve the desired degree of dilation?Keywords
