ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The role of coronary stenting in the treatment of patients with small vessels ( or =3.0 mm. The primary end points were the major adverse cardiac events including death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization at follow-up. The incidence of angiographic restenosis (> or = 50% of diameter stenosis) was assessed as a secondary end point. Event-free survival in the small vessel group (less than 3mm of reference vessel diameter) was 62.5% at 23.7+/-13.0 months and 76% in the large vessel group (p<0.001) at 23.5+/-12.0 months. The follow-up angiographic restenosis rate was significantly higher in the small vessel group (61% vs. 32% in the small and large vessel groups, respectively, p=026). CONCLUSION: Acute myocardial infarction patients with small vessels present a higher risk for an adverse outcome following primary stenting.
