Long-term clinical outcome after use of stents in primary and rescue coronary angioplasty for treatment of acute myocardial infarction has not been described in detail. This study was conducted to evaluate long-term (more than one year) outcome in patients treated for acute myocardial infarction with stents. Between January 1, 1997 and September 1997, 101 consecutive patients had coronary artery stents implanted either for primary treatment of myocardial infarction or after failed thrombolytic therapy. Medical records of these patients were reviewed and telephone follow-up was performed using a standard questionnaire. Mean duration of follow-up was 17.8 +/- 1.7 months. During initial hospitalization only one patient had emergent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty due to stent thrombosis (1%); two patients underwent emergent coronary artery bypass surgery (2%) and two patients died (2%). During the follow-up period, ten patients (10%) had recurrent angina, eight patients were treated medically (8%), two required repeat angioplasty (2%), two patients died (2%), and three patients (3%) were lost to follow-up. Stenting of the culprit vessel during acute myocardial infarction appears to be a safe and effective treatment associated with favorable in-hospital and long-term outcomes. |
