Coronary stenting in bail-out situations is effective but associated with increased stent thrombosis and bleeding rates. Silicone-carbide coating reduces fibrinogen activation on alloplastic surfaces and thus may also reduce stent thromboses. A total of 44 patients received 58 silicone-carbide-coate

We evaluated the outcome of bailout coronary stenting in acute myocardial infarction. Fifty patients (35 men, mean age 60 plusmn; 12) with acute myocardial infarction consecutively underwent bailout stenting after primary and rescue coronary angioplasty (nβ«14Ψβ¬ and 9, respectively). Cardiogenic shoc
We describe a case of essential thrombocythemia in a 34-year-old male who presented with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction and a platelet count of 2,100,000/mm 3 . Primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty and stenting were performed. Postangioplasty course was complicated by stent thrombosi
