Promus premier stent in unstable angina (case report)

Abstract

Introduction: Unstable angina is a type of acute coronary syndrome. The main cause of unstable angina is an atherosclerotic plaque, incidents increasing with age. There is presence of myocardial ischemia, but with no evidence of myocardial necrosis. Thus, patients have an increased risk of cardiac events such as myocardial infarction. The aim of this study is to control with a clinical case the studies suggesting coronary artery stenting has short- and long-term benefits in unstable angina.
