title: "Bailout" coronary stenting in patients with a recent myocardial infarction.
abstract: Patients who underwent bailout intracoronary stenting within 7 days of a myocardial infarction had lower clinical and angiographic success rates and a higher incidence of emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery than patients who underwent bailout stenting without a history of a recent myocardial infarction. In addition, there was a trend toward more cardiac events after discharge in patients who received stents after a recent myocardial infarction.
