Long-term results of young patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary stent implantation.

Long-term follow-up studies on young patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing coronary stent implantation are relatively scarce. This study was applied to review the long-term results of young ACS patients who had undergone coronary stenting in our hospital. One hundred and two young patients with ACS underwent coronary stent implantation in our hospital. In this study, inpatient records and long-term data of the 102 patients were comprehensively collected for analysis. Major gender of the young patients was men. Most of the patients had smoking, and each patient had at least one risk factor. During hospitalization, no patient died. At last follow-up, all patients were alive and the occurrence rate of major adverse cardio/cerebrovascular accidents was 4.9%. In summary, long-term follow-ups revealed extremely satisfactory outcomes in young ACS patients after coronary stent implantation. Smoking and traditional ACS risk factors are the leading causes of ACS in young population.
