OBJECTIVES: The choice of stent used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often at the discretion of the interventional cardiologist (IC) without informed shared decision making. We aim to assess the impact of ICs’ awareness of the risk of delayed arterial healing associated with drug-eluting stents (DES) on patient knowledge transfer. METHODS:
