Incidence, predictors, and outcome of reinfarction and stent thrombosis within one year after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST‐elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

In contemporary practice with primary PCI and triple antiplatelet therapy for STEMI, the incidence of reinfarction is low. Outcome characteristics after the index PCI were important determinants of reinfarction. However, reinfarction was associated with poor prognosis, and in particular patients with stent thrombosis had poor outcome.
