Popis: Background Early loss of minimal luminal diameter (MLD) after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is associated with a higher incidence of late restenosis. Methods and Results Sixty-six patients (66 lesions) with >0.3 mm MLD loss at 24-hour on-line quantitative coronary angiography were randomized into two groups: 1, Gianturco-Roubin stent (n=33) and 2, Control, who received medical therapy only (n=33). All lesions were suitable for stenting. Baseline demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics were similar in the two groups. Restenosis (≥50% stenosis) for the overall group occurred in 32 of 66 patients (48.4%) at 3.6±1-month follow-up angiography. Restenosis was significantly greater in group 2 than in group 1 (75.7% versus 21.2%, P P P Conclusions In patients with successful PTCA but reduced luminal diameter demonstrated by repeat angiography at 24 hours, the Gianturco-Roubin stent appears to reduce angiographic restenosis at follow-up.
