ABSTRACT
Elective coronary artery stenting was performed in 242 consecutive patients in our centre for complex lesions (Type B, C), proximal lesions, restenotic lesions, total occlusion and venous grafts. The procedural success rate was 94.21%. Three patients (1.23%) required emergency coronary artery bypass surgery. Acute and sub-acute thrombosis rate was 1.26% and 4.13%, respectively. There was one in-hospital death (0.41%). 164 patients were followed up clinically for a mean period of 11 +/- 6 months (range 1 month to 30 months). Angiographic follow up was done in 68 patients with a restenosis rate of 16.17%.
