Procedural data recorded included; treated arteries, reperfusion (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade), residual stenosis, number of stents, length of stents, and, if measured, creatine phosphokinase concentration. Factors determining the occurrence of major clinical events (death or MI or revascularisation of the target vessel) were screened using univariate analysis (two sided Fisher's exact test) and logistic regression analysis was performed on a random subset of 2457 patients.
