Completed and ongoing randomized trials have provided results that favor primary @entity1188 ( @entity1188 ) stenting as opposed to primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, but the applicability of the trial results to all @entity1 with @entity583 ( @entity583 ) has not yet been investigated. This study sought to determine the applicability of an unconditional @entity1188 stenting strategy in nonselected @entity1 with @entity583 . After successful mechanical recanalization of the @entity1188 , all @entity1 with @entity583 and a reference diameter > or =2.5 mm were considered eligible for primary @entity1188 stenting without any restriction regarding age or clinical status on presentation. The primary end point of the study was a composite end point defined as death, reinfarction, or repeat @entity75 revascularization. Primary @entity1188 stenting was successfully performed in 161 of 190 consecutive @entity1 with @entity583 (85%), and of 162 (99%) considered suitable for stenting. @entity1 with nonstented @entity1188 had a reference @entity1188 diameter smaller than @entity1 with a stent (2.71+/-0.48 vs 3.20+/-0.41 mm, p <0.001). Overall, the 6-month mortality was 5%. Mortality was 2% for @entity1 without, and 32% for @entity1 with @entity1455 . The incidences of reinfarction and of repeat @entity75 revascularization were 1% and 12%, respectively. The 6-month angiographic follow-up showed an @entity1188 patency rate of 94% and a restenosis rate of 26%. The results of this study strengthen the hypothesis that unconditional primary @entity1188 stenting is highly feasible, and may actually improve the outcome of @entity1 with @entity583 .
