Conclusions In this large, multi-center, real-world registry, XIENCE V demonstrated: Outstanding physician-determined acute performance and deliverability (99.2%) A high procedure success rate (99.3%) Despite the complexity of the EXCEED population, the “next-gen DES” elements (derived from a 13-item questionnaire) led to excellent overall MD satisfaction
Conclusions Despite the complexity of the EXCEED population, Contrast volume was low Fluoroscopy times were short Patient safety and economic factors will place a greater emphasis on procedural resource utilization during DES implantation
