Repeat coronary angioplasty during the same angiographic diagnosis of coronary restenosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Drug-eluting stents (DES) are increasingly used for the treatment of coronary artery disease. An optimized DES performance is desirable to successfully treat various challenging coronary lesions in a broad population of patients. In response to this demand, third-generation DES with an improved deliverabilit...
