Abstract

In 108 consecutive patients without abrupt vessel closure referred for repeat coronary angiography within 30 days of successful coronary intervention, 28 (26%) were found with restenosis at the treated site. None of the 27 patients who underwent stenting were found to have early restenosis; balloon angioplasty without stenting was the only independent predictor of early restenosis in patients with recurrent symptoms within 30 days of intervention.
