Parental smoking and vascular damage in young adult offspring: is early life exposure critical?
Permanent vascular damage is partly attributable to familial tobacco smoke exposure, an association that might be initiated in gestation.
Long-term risk of TVR was slightly lower with SES, compared with PES, despite no significant difference in major adverse cardiac events. However, the SES group had more frequent target lesion reintervention 2 to 5 years after stent implantation, whereas reintervention in the PES group occurred mainly within the first 2 years. This may reflect the temporal difference in neointimal growth of the two stent types.
