First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looked at the best way to place drug-eluting stents in heart arteries that have a branch. It compared stenting both the main artery and the side branch versus stenting only the main artery and treating the side branch if needed. The study included 413 people with chest pain and blocked arteries. The goal was to see which approach leads to fewer heart problems like heart attack or the need for another procedure.
