Percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation using one long stent
Percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation using more than one overlapping stents
Long coronary lesions will be treated percutaneously with a single long stent (more than 40 mm in length) and intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) will be done immediately after stent deployment to record the baseline picture
