Predictors of thrombotic complications after placement of the flexible coil stent

The balloon-expandable, stainless steel, flexible coil stent is a useful device for managing acute or threatened closure after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. 1–5 Use of the device is associated with thrombosis of the stented vessel in a small but important group of patients. 3,6–10...

Zusammenfassung:The balloon-expandable, stainless steel, flexible coil stent is a useful device for managing acute or threatened closure after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. 1–5 Use of the device is associated with thrombosis of the stented vessel in a small but important group of patients. 3,6–10 The clinical, angiographic, and procedural factors associated with stent thrombosis with this device are still unknown. The objective of this study was to define predictors of stent thrombosis occurring within the ftrst month after stenting with this device.
