Agreed that multiple stents and multiple vessels can be stented in one cath session. My point was more that there isn't very strong evidence or criteria for what constitutes a vessel that should be stented versus which should not. Worse, plaques are dynamic – what looks benign today could rupture and cause a complete/near occlusion. Rupture and subsequent thrombosis is more dangerous than stenosis itself.
