Article Synopsis
- Covered stents (CS), originally used for coronary perforation, are now being studied for their effectiveness in treating coronary aneurysms (CAA), although data on long-term outcomes is limited.
- This meta-analysis evaluates major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients treated with the new PK Papyrus CS over an average follow-up of 16.2 months, analyzing data from three observational trials.
- Results show a MACE rate of 14.3%, with higher rates in CAA patients compared to those with coronary perforation, highlighting the need for careful patient selection and treatment optimization for better outcomes.
