In-stent restenosis and lesion morphology in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Am J Cardiol. 2003 Nov 15;92(10):1208-11. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2003.07.034.

Abstract

We investigated the correlation between lesion morphology with preintervention intravascular ultrasound and in-stent restenosis in 72 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of ruptured plaque was the only predictive factor of in-stent restenosis after primary stenting for AMI.
