How long does it take, as a statistical minimum, for a coronary stent
to undergo restenosis?
What is the incidence rate of that minimum?
Are those values (minimum and incidence) different for BMS and DES
stents?

Thanks

Depends multiple factors.

The minimum is the same but with markedly decreased incidence with the
DES.

You are welcome.

All thanks and praises belong to GOD, Whom I love with all my heart,
soul, mind, and strength.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
