title: [Immediate and long-term results of implantation of the coronary stent "BioDiamond"].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess immediate and long-term outcomes after BioDiamond-stent implantation in patients with native coronary artery disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  The BioDiamond stent was implanted in 112 patients with 132 de novo lesions. Most patients (54%) had unstable angina, 33% of the lesions were of type B2-C.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No stent deployment failure occurred as well as acute or subacute stent thrombosis. The 6-month angiographic follow-up was obtained in 108 patients (98%) (125 lesions). The loss index was 0.40 +/- 0.27. Angiographic restenosis rate occurred in 14%. Repeat target lesion revascularization was successful in 16 patients with restenosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results of this study indicate a potential benefit of BioDiamond for prevention of stent thrombosis and restenosis in these relatively high-risk patients.
