Abstract

Stenting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has the benefits of achieving acute optimal angiographic results and correcting residual dissection to decrease the incidence of restenosis and reocclusion. Studies have shown that percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for primary treatment after AMI is superior to thrombolytic therapy regarding the restoration of normal coronary blood flow. Coronary stenting improves initial success rates, decreases the incidence of abrupt closure, and is associated with a reduced rate of restenosis. In the presence of thrombus-containing lesions, coronary stenting constitutes an effective therapeutic strategy, either after failure of initial angioplasty or electively as the primary procedure.
