โœฆ Synopsis


We present 6-month follow-up of 435 patients undergoing stent deployment. Forty-four patients were referred because of myocardial ischemia related to the stented artery. In six of these patients (14%), the stented vessel revealed a new proximal lesion separated from the stented portion, which warranted further intervention. It is felt that these new lesions are related to the stenting technique as a result of local trauma induced from the guiding catheter.

I read with great interest the case report by Liu et al. [1] pertaining to coronary artery stent infection. In 2000, the article "Coronary Artery Stent Infection" was published, which reviewed the world literature and proposed diagnostic criteria for identifying coronary artery stent infections [2]
