title: Prediction of degree of residual stenosis in coronary thrombolysis.
abstract: In order to predict the residual stenosis in coronary thrombolysis, the factors easily obtained from clinical history--age, gender, history of angina before acute myocardial infarction (AMI), family history, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, and interval between onset of AMI and recanalization--were observed in 114 patients with successful coronary thrombolysis. In 55 patients with angina before AMI, 29 patients had residual stenosis greater than or equal to 75% and 26 patients had residual stenosis less than 75%. In 59 patients without angina before AMI, 15 patients had residual stenosis greater than or equal to 75%, and 44 patients had residual stenosis less than 75%. The presence or absence of angina before AMI was the main variable that discriminated the groups of residual stenosis of more or less than 75%, which was the only significant independent variable to predict the residual stenosis. These data suggest that the presence of angina pectoris before AMI is likely to be associated with a significant degree of residual stenosis after thrombolysis.
