This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility and safety of coronary stenting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In AMI, primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is accepted as the preferred method of reperfusion for patients presenting at highly experienced centres.

Several studies have shown that stent implantations in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) result in better short-and long-term outcomes than primary balloon angioplasty. These results, however, have not been ascertained in randomized trials. We randomized 136 patients out of 208 patients with AMI wit
Recent evidence suggests that coronary stenting and the use of antiplatelet agents during coronary interventions will improve the outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We describe the management of AMI in a 30-year-old woman, 38 weeks pregnant, with primary stenting and antipla
