Abstract
Long coronary lesions are associated with adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention since the era of plain balloon angioplasty. Long lesion and long stent length are considered as important predictors of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. With the advent of newer generation drug eluting stents, there has been dramatic reduction in the rates of restenosis and repeat revascularization, even in complex cohort of patients with long coronary lesions. We report one such case of long coronary lesion which was intervened successfully with newer generation, thin strut, biodegradable polymer coated sirolimus-eluting stents.
