Brief summary
The utilization of paclitaxel-eluting coronary stents in small vessel diseases is effective in reducing both repeat revascularization and major adverse cardiac events within two year follow-up. To evaluate the procedural, short and long term clinical outcomes of the Taxus Liberte™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent in small coronary arteries of ≤ 2.5 mm in the reference vessel diameter.
