Long-term efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty on incidence of myocardial infarction, relief of symptoms and survival.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) dramatically changed the practice of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the 2000s. Little is known about trends in in-hospital outcome after PCI in the DES era. HYPOTHESIS:The in-hospital outcomes after PCI might be continuously improved over time. MET...
