Key Points
- Compared to balloon predilation, direct stenting (DS) shortens procedural time and reduces radiation and contrast exposure.
- A meta-analysis that included 7 studies comparing these 2 strategies revealed lower adverse event rate with DS.
- Studies included in the present meta-analysis were mostly observational and utilized first generation drug-eluting stent.
- Patient and lesion selection may explain these positive results.
