[Immediate and long-term results of implantation of the new platinum coronary stent (atlas stent) in patients with coronary artery disease].
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the technical and clinical results of implantation of the Atlas stent, the hospital stay, and the short and long-term clinical and angiographic outcome.


METHODS
The study included 169 patients (60.1 10.8 year-old), 60.3% of which had acute coronary syndromes and complex lesions. Immediate success was achieved in 98% of cases. The clinical follow-up in 85.7% of the patients at 14.3 6.8 months, revealed that 89% remained free of adverse events and most (94.4%) were functional class I of the CCS. Angiographic follow-up at 8.4 4.1 months of 40.9% of the cases revealed restenosis in 27.9%. There were 2 cases of subacute thrombosis.


CONCLUSIONS
The application of the Atlas stent in patients with a diverse clinical spectrum demonstrated good immediate and long term results, with a rate of restenosis similar to that of other stents available on the market.
