Balloon angioplasty has been shown to be an effective therapy for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction but is associated with a high restenosis rate, substantial early recoil, persistent thrombus and need for intracoronary thrombolysis, and a high rate of reclosure. Because many of the limit

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
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.
