Early experience with the NIR intracoronary stent

The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

Immediate and midterm results of 61 NIR stent placement attempts in 55 native coronary vessels in 52 patients demonstrate a high clinical success rate of 98%, no early stent thrombosis, and a 5-month angiographic restenosis rate of 23%. The frequency of in-stent restenosis was significantly heightened in small vessel sizes and in diabetic patients.
