title: [Short- and long-term results following implantation of the new Wiktor stent in acute coronary occlusion following PTCA].
abstract: Ten patients, two women and eight men, were treated with the new balloon-expandable Wiktor Stent for acute coronary occlusion after PTCA. Two patients presented with an acute myocardial infarction. Stents with a diameter of 3.0 or 3.5 mm were implanted into the right coronary artery (n = 7), the left anterior descending (n = 2) artery, and the left circumflex coronary artery (n = 1). Stent implantation in the target segment was successful in all cases. Afterwards, patients received coumadine for 3 months and 100 mg acetylsalicyclic acid per day. We observed one acute occlusion after 8 h. Late occlusion occurred in two patients after cessation of anticoagulation within 3 weeks. Control angiography after 6 months in seven patients revealed stenosis within the stent in two cases.
