Primary direct stent implantation was successful in 100 of 107 eligible patients (93.5%) with an angiographic restenosis rate of 11% at 11.25 +/- 5.30 months of follow-up. Predictiver variables of restenosis were diabetes mellitus, the reference diameter, and residual stenosis after stenting; no procedural variables were associated with restenosis.
