Abstract
This study examined whether estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) in postmenop ausal women impacts intermediate and long-term outcome after successful cor onary stenting. Our findings offer evidence that ERT significantly reduces target lesion revascularization after intracoronary stenting in postmenopau sal patients who are on ERT before the intervention.
