Objective:
@EN The placement of stents in coronary arteries has been shown to be effective bail out
procedure and reduce restenosis in comparison to balloon angioplasty. We experienced
coronary stenting in 8 patients with coronary artery disease and report our results.
@ES Method:
@EN From October 1995 to April 1996, 8 cases of coronary artery stenting were performed at
the Ewha Womans University Hospital. We evaluated results of the procedure, inhospital
complications, follow-up coronary angiography and follow-up clinical events.
@ES Result:
@EN All lesions were successfully stented without in-hospital complications including death,
myocardial infarction, repeat coronary angioplasty, or CABG. During 2 months of follow-up,
there was no clinical events. Follow-up coronary angiography was performed in one case,
showing no restenosis.
@ES Conclusion:
@EN Acute procedural results and angiogrphic and follow-up clinical outcomes were
favorable, so coronary stenting seemed to be good therapeutic tool in treatment of coronary
artery disease.
