Popis: Objectives. The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of elective stent implantation and balloon angioplasty for new lesions in small coronary arteries.Background. Palmaz-Schatz stents have been designed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in coronary arteries with diameters ≥3.0 mm. The efficacy of elective stent placement in smaller vessels has not been determined.Methods. By quantitative coronary angiography, 331 patients in the Stent Restenosis Study (STRESS) I–II were determined to have a reference vessel
