Cohort
Follow-up
1 month

Implication
May inform risk stratification after successful stenting; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of procedural and antiplatelet optimization.

Intracoronary stenting
O
Outcome
Procedural failure and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the first monthcomposite
Procedural factors and lack of ticlopidine are strong predictors of MACE within the first month after successful intracoronary stenting, highlighting the need for optimal angiographic results and immediate-onset antiplatelet therapy.
