Popis: Data on the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcome of intracoronary stenting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are limited. This study examined the immediate angiographic results and the early and late outcomes in 32 patients who had stenting during AMI. Coronary angiograms recorded at the time of stenting were reviewed with quantitative measurements obtained on the “target” coronary lesion before and after stenting. Immediate angiographic success was achieved in 30 patients (94%). The minimal luminal diameter increased from 0.36 ± 0.37 to 2.58 ± 0.41 mm (p
