PATIENT OUTCOMES AFTER CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY WITH STENT IMPLANTATION AND STRATEGIES FOR RECURRENCE PROPHYLAXIS: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY FROM FERGANA

Abstract

This retrospective cohort study analyzes clinical outcomes of 96 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation following acute myocardial infarction at the Fergana Regional Cardiology Center. Drug-eluting stents demonstrated significantly lower risks of in-stent restenosis and recurrent myocardial infarction compared with bare-metal stents. Long-term adherence to dual antiplatelet therapy and statin use markedly reduced the incidence of major adverse cardiac events. Diabetes mellitus was identified as a major prognostic factor associated with recurrence. The findings highlight the importance of personalized pharmacological prevention and patient adherence to secondary prophylaxis for improving post-PCI outcomes.
