Primary Endpoint
occurrence of a >50% restenosis at the treated segment at 6 months postintervention as determined by CTA (in-segment restenosis).

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The investigators evaluated whether primary implantation of a self-expanding nitinol stent yielded anatomical and clinical benefits superior to those afforded by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with optional secondary stenting.
