Randomized Comparison of Coronary Stenting With Balloon Angioplasty in Selected Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

In selected patients with acute myocardial infarction, primary stenting can be applied safely and effectively, resulting in a lower incidence of recurrent infarction and a significant reduction in the need for subsequent target-vessel revascularization compared with balloon angioplasty.
