“…927,1142,1143,1152,1155 Stent sizes of 9 mm or
more, and especially drug-eluting stents, revealed significantly better results,
although drug-eluting stents of this size are not available. 1142,1143,1144,1156 Whether
or not primary stenting of PV stenosis offers better results than angioplasty
alone has now been systematically studied by several groups. 1144,1155 The risk of restenosis is
significantly less with PV stenting, providing a stent of 8–10 mm in
diameter can be used.…”
