Balloon angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction is an established procedure. The procedure is limited by the potential for early abrupt reocclusion (18-20%) and other complications. Coronary stenting improves the initial success rate, decreases the incidence of abrupt closure, and is associated with a reduced rate of restenosis. For these reasons, coronary stenting is increasingly utilized to treat acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of coronary stenting with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the management of acute myocardial infarction. Clinical data from a retrospective review of 228 consecutive patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction who underwent primary or rescue coronary intervention were used. There was a significantly greater incidence of in-hospital recurrent myocardial infarction in the PTCA group (10%) versus the stented gr...
