AbstractOBJECTIVESIn a multicenter, randomized trial, systematic stenting using the Wiktor stent was compared to conventional balloon angioplasty with provisional stenting for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).BACKGROUNDPrimary angioplasty in AMI is limited by in-hospital recurrent ischemia and a high restenosis rate.METHODSA total of 211 patients with AMI <12 h from symptom onset, with an occluded native coronary artery, were randomly assigned to systematic stenting (n = 101) or balloon angioplasty (n = 110). The primary end point was the binary six-month restenosis rate determined by core laboratory quantitative angiographic analysis.RESULTSAngiographic success (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] flow grade 3 an...
