[The application of intracoronary stenting to type B and C lesions of coronary arteries].
Intracoronary stenting was introduced to 4 lesions due to coronary arterial dissections and to 2 lesions owing to elastic recoil of coronary arteries and stent placement was directly performed in 6 complex coronary lesions after 12 target lesions from 7 patients with Types B and C lesions of coronary arteries had been pre-dilated with balloon. Coronary angiography showed that dissections and recoils had disappeared. Target lesions were well dilated and blood flow was well improved in all cases, one patient was complicated with hemorrhage which was cured quickly. During the follow-up period of 1 to 24 months, another case had recurrence of angina after 2 months of stenting which could be controlled with anti-angina agents. These indicate that intracoronary stenting had good therapeutic effect and is considered as a safe, fast and effective method in dealing with acute complications of coronary artery after routine PTCA.
