Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in very small vessel coronary arteries is challenging due to adverse short-term as well as long-term outcomes. This single-arm, open-label, observational study assessed 1-year clinical outcomes of drug-eluting stents (DES) in Indian patients undergoing PCI for symptomatic very small-calibre coronary artery disease. It enrolled 66 Indian patients with 74 very small coronary artery lesions (reference vessel diameter: ≥2.0 and ≤ 2.25 mm); eligible for implantation with 2.25 mm DES. The primary endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was 3.0% indicating favourable 1-year clinical outcomes of DES in very small coronary artery lesions in Indian patients.
