[Immediate and long-term outcomes of the use of a Crossflex wire coronary stent in the treatment of patients with different forms of ischemic heart disease].
Immediate and medium-term prognoses were studied in patients with coronary heart disease in whom a Crossflex wire coronary stent (Cordis, Johnson & Johnson, USA) had been inserted into the coronary arteries. The study indicated that it could be effectively used in patients with both chronic coronary heart disease and its exacerbation (acute myocardial infarction). It was found that in the vast majority of patients anginal attacks ceased and the clinical course ran smoothly in both immediate and medium-term postoperative periods. In the immediate period, various complications were observed only in 6.7% of cases. In the late period, the incidence of restenosis was 24%. If restenosis occurred, repeated balloon dilatation was successfully made in the great majority of cases by resulting in recovery of the vascular lumen.
