✦ Synopsis

The coronary lesions in 164 patients who underwent 194 PTCA procedures were analyzed in an effort to define if there were morphological characteristics that would predict thrombotic problems following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA). Patients with smooth and concentric or eccentric lesions rarely had difficulty at PTCA, whereas those with filling defects or with eccentric and irregular lesions frequently had postprocedure thrombi. Total occlusions were amenable to angioplasty when there was lesion staining present, but the success rate was significantly less in patients in whom there was no staining. These findings suggest that the acute outcome of PTCA can be predicted on the basis of the morphology of coronary lesions on preprocedure angiography.

Diffuse coronary lesions (length > 20 mm) are still considered high risk for percutaneous intervention even in the current stent era. We compared the 2-year outcome of patients with long diffuse stenosis treated by three different stent strategies. In addition, we also analyzed the possible factors
