Abstract
The cumulative experience of 4 clinical trials using the MULTI-LINK coronar y stent design was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression identified p ostprocedure in-stent minimum lumen diameter (p = 0.0001), stent length (p = 0.0038), smoking (p = 0.0105), and diabetes (p = 0.0803) as the most impo rtant predictors of in-stent restenosis at late (6- to 9-month) angiographi c follow-up.
