Table 5 Comparison between the studied groups regarding the final lesion length and angiographic outcome
Lesion length and angiographic outcome | Group A (4–16 h deferral) Number = 50 (48 for 2nd procedure) | Group B (7 days deferral) Number = 50 (49 for 2nd procedure) | Group C (immediate) Number = 50 | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lesion length (mm) | 20.5 (18–24) | 20 (16–25) | 24 (20–27) | 0.003 | |
No-reflow after 1st procedure | 5 (10%) | 4 (8%) | 12 (24%) | 0.043 | |
No-reflow after 2nd procedure | 10 (20.8%) | 7 (14.3%) | – | 0.396 | |
