Radical surgery for malignant pleural mesothelioma: results and prognosis.

abstract：:Drug eluting stents (DESs) reduce the incidence of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and have been predicted to decrease the number of patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We studied about the impact of DESs on CABG. We compared our isolated CABG patients over two years...
