“…The inverse relationship between vessel size and restenosis rate following BMS implantation [26] may explain the equal efficacy between BMS and DES implants as reported in previous studies on large coronary artery lesions. A series of previous studies showed no significant differences in the rate of TLR and MACE between BMS and DES in patients requiring large coronary stents [15,[17][18][19]. However, follow-up periods in these studies seemed to be relatively short to support their conclusions, because the late catch-up phenomenon and very late stent thrombosis could occur more than 1 year after stent implantation.…”

“…Furthermore, many DES trials excluded patients with larger arteries. So far, there have been a few retrospective subgroup analyses or registries of large vessel stenting (≥ 3.5 mm) and only some studies have analyzed the clinical outcome of DES and BMS in large-size coronary arteries [15][16][17][18][19]. These studies didn't seem to conclusively address the problem.…”

“…7 Restenosis rates are quite low in large arteries after bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation. 3,8 -11 Steinberg et al 12 reported that patients treated with ≥3.5 mm DES and BMS had similar low incidence of MACE and target-lesion revascularization (TLR) and TVR in both groups, with no superiority of DES over BMS in this lesion.…”

“…To our opinion, this does not represent daily practice, as not every lesion (e.g. in large vessels) needs to be treated by a drug-eluting stent [18][19][20]. Therefore, in our registry about one fourth of all lesions received bare-metal stents.…”
