Full Abstract
A new type of stent may alter demand and affect the financial performance of cardiovascular programs. Patients electing angioplasty instead of CABG as the preferred initial treatment for coronary stenosis may increase. The need for CABG procedures to correct restenosis following angioplasty may decline.
