✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Stent implantation into an infarct‐related artery during acute myocardial infarction is generally contraindicated because of the risk of stent thrombosis. We report on 3 patients who had successful stenting for an acute occlusive dissection that developed during direct infarct coronary angioplasty and was refractory to conventional prolonged balloon dilatation, with good long‐term clinical and angiographic results. The prerequisites for success include proper premedication, presence of only a minimal amount of thrombus in the infarct‐related artery, liberal use of intracoronary thrombolytic therapy, as perfect an angiographic result as possible, as well as careful and aggressive post‐stenting anticoagulation. © Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

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
