This report was a retrospective look at a large registry database. A one-stent strategy trumps a two-stent approach in patients with acute coronary syndromes in this large registry. The primary endpoint and target lesion revascularization was half the rate if a one-stent strategy was used. The incidence of stent thrombosis was more than three-fold as high using a planned two-stent strategy.
