Abstract
A self-expanding coronary stent was implanted in 17 patients to treat acute occlusion of the right coronary artery after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. There were 2 women and 15 men, with a mean age of 59 +/- 8 years. All patients underwent at least one follow-up angiographic examination 4 to 6 months after implantation and six patients had additional follow-up angiography. During a mean follow-up interval of 32 +/- 10 months no patient died or had a myocardial infarction. Restenosis within the stent did not occur. Two patients had a new stenosis adjacent to the stent. Stent occlusion was found on follow-up angiography in one patient who had not been treated with an antiplatelet agent. The mean intraluminal diameter was 2.77 +/- 0.5 mm after implantation and 2.67 +/- 0.5 mm on follow-up angiography. It is concluded that coronary stenting is effective in treating right coronary artery occlusion after balloon angioplasty. Immediate and long-term outcome suggest that the right coronary artery may be a particularly favorable site for stent implantation.
