      abstract     = {The study presented the acute- and long- time results of
                      patients with coronary artery disease who undergo direct
                      stent implantation. The values are resulted on one side from
                      digital quantitative coronary coronarangiography (QCA) and
                      on the other side from the clinical symptoms classified by
                      the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) and the New York
                      Heart Association (NYHA).Angiographic results:The proximal,
                      mean and distal reference diameter did not vary between the
                      various measurements. The minimal lumen diameter (MLD)
                      increased from 0.8 (SD 0.4) mm up to 2.5 (SD 0.8) mm. This
                      corresponds with an acute gain of 1.6 (SD 0.8) mm. At the
                      follow-up was the value of MLD 1.6 (SD 0.8) mm, resulting a
                      late loss of 0.5 (SD 0.9) mm. The net gain was 1.1 (SD 0.7)
                      mm. The mean diameter of stenosis correlates similar to the
                      MLD. The length of stenosis was quantified with 9.5 (SD 4.1)
                      mm. The mean ballon diameter was 3.0 (SD 0.4) mm. The mean
                      diameter of stenosis after intervention was calculated with
                      $14\%,$ after round about 6 months with $28\%.$ In 46 cases
                      $(28\%)$ a new stenosis in the stent area could be detected.
                      In a group of 20 patients $(43\%)$ remained a restenosis (>
                      $50\%$ diameter of stenosis).Clinical results:Our patients
                      had a lot of angiographic characteristics which come along
                      with an increased risk of a worse outcome. Especially this
                      relates to the high incidence of multivessel-disease and
                      complex with partly thrombus containing stenosis (type B2 /
                      C). Despite of this, the results from the digital
                      quantitative coronarangiography and the clinical outcomes
                      showed a very good angiographic and clinical output after
                      direct stent implantation. $92\%$ of the patients (n= 151)
                      were significantly relieved of their symptoms and 1/3 was
                      completely without any symptoms.The data analysis showed
                      that the clinical outcomes of the patients differed often
                      from the angiographic results of the therapied lesions. The
                      target vessel minimal lumen diameter (MLD) of the patients
                      with permanent angina pectoris or dyspnoe symtoms did not
                      differ from those who had not any clinical symptoms (2.0 (SD
                      0.7) mm vs. 2.0 (SD 0.7) mm). $70\%$ of these patients had a
                      multivessel-disease. All stents with one exception offered
                      an excellent angiographic result (mean diameter stenosis of
                      $32\%)$ at the follow-up.28 patients $(17\%)$ were
                      hospitalised because of cardiological reasons, $86\%$ had
                      symptoms of angina pectoris. In 25 cases the follow-up was
                      brought forward. $80\%$ out of it had an excellent result of
                      the stent (mean diameter of stenosis $30.4\%).$ In case of
                      16 patients the angina pectoris symptoms were caused by
                      stenosis outside of the target vessel, in 11 cases occured a
                      Re-PTCA, in the other cases was a drug orientated concept
                      established.In the meantime in 4 cases $(2\%)$ happened an
                      acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In 3 of it were the target
                      vessel involved, but only by one patient was the reason
                      located in the stent. In the other cases the ACS was caused
                      by a subtotal stenosis distal the direct implanted stent
                      (>/=5 mm). In more than one third of the cases in which the
                      follow-up was brought forward, a reintervention happened.
                      But only by $8\%$ of the patients, who came to the regular
                      follow-up, was a new intervention necessary. In total, at
                      the regular follow-up in 25 cases $(15\%)$ a reintervention
                      occured. By 13 Patienten $(8\%)$ was the target vessel (TVR)
                      involved.At the analysis of potential predictors, which
                      favoured restenosis, only some trends could be found. These
                      correlated with the aspects which are described in the
                      literature. For example long or complex lesions (type B / C)
                      have promoted effects to the process of restenosis. The same
                      for diabetes mellitus.Conclusion:The studie showed that in a
                      great collective of stenosed lesions a very good
                      angiographic and clinical outcome could be achieved.But the
                      restenosis is independent from the kind of the stent
                      implantation the Achilles tendon of the coronary
                      angioplastie.},
