[Coronary stenting: indications and results].
Intracoronary stenting has been introduced to overcome the 2 main limitations of balloon angioplasty:acute vessel closure and late restenosis. Palmaz-Schatz stent is today the most diffuse prosthesis; the incidence of subacute occlusion and of restenosis reported by various Authors are acceptable. The risk of major complications however is definite and anticoagulation mandatory. Only controlled clinical studies and improvements in the stent design and in the knowledge of thrombotic processes will permit an enlargement of stent indications.
