Is coronary angioplasty safe and effective for patients with early postinfarction unstable angina?

Population

47 consecutive patients with postinfarction unstable angina referred for the procedure 12.9 +/- 7 days following myocardial infarction (14 Q wave, 33 non-Q-wave).

Intervention

Coronary angioplasty

Outcome

Procedural success (greater than 30% reduction of predilatation stenosis) and clinical outcomes (death, emergency bypass surgery, early reocclusion, recurrent MI)hard clinical

Coronary angioplasty appears to be an efficacious therapeutic option for selected patients with early postinfarction unstable angina.
