Abstract

In summary, the clinical outcome of patients with chronically occluded coronary lesions during the first year after successful coronary stent placement is characterized by a greater frequency of target lesion revascularizations than those in patients with stenotic lesions. The greater need for target lesion revascularization is the clinical consequence of the higher incidence of restenosis and reocclusion in this group of patients.
