October 25th, 2006
Direct stenting provides better immediate coronary blood flow and is a safe and feasible method compared with conventional stenting in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). "As compared with balloon angioplasty, stent implantation in treatment of AMI reduces abrupt vessel closure, restenosis, and reocclusion rate.
