Popis: OBJECTIVESWe sought to make a prospective comparison of systematic stenting with provisional stenting guided by Doppler measurements of coronary velocity reserve and quantitative coronary angiography.BACKGROUNDDespite the increasing use of stents during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, it is unclear whether systematic stenting is superior to a strategy of provisional stenting in which stents are placed only in patients with unsatisfactory results or as a bail-out procedure.METHODSTwo hundred fifty-one patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty were randomly assigned either to provisional stenting (group 1, in which stenting was performed if postangioplasty coronary velocity reserve was
