Clinical and angiographic follow-up after primary stenting in acute myocardial infarction : The Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) stent pilot trial

Restenosis has been reported in as many as 50% of patients within 6 months after PTCA in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which necessitates repeat target-vessel revascularization (TVR) in approximately 20% of patients during this time period. Routine (primary) stent implantation after PTCA has th...

Description
Summary:Restenosis has been reported in as many as 50% of patients within 6 months after PTCA in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which necessitates repeat target-vessel revascularization (TVR) in approximately 20% of patients during this time period. Routine (primary) stent implantation after PTCA has the potential to further improve late outcomes. Primary stenting was performed as part of a prospective study in 236 consecutive patients without contraindications who presented with AMI of
