Angiographic findings in patients undergoing catheterization for recurrent symptoms within 30 days of successful coronary intervention.
In 108 consecutive patients without abrupt vessel closure referred for repeat coronary angiography within 30 days of successful coronary intervention, 28 (26%) were found with restenosis at the treated site. None of the 27 patients who underwent stenting were found to have early restenosis; balloon angioplasty without stenting was the only independent predictor of early restenosis in patients with recurrent symptoms within 30 days of intervention.
