The Duet stent (Guidant/Advanced Cardiovascular Systems) is a new stent with a corrugated ring design and very limited data on its short‐ and mid‐term performance. Accordingly, in this study we sought to determine the early and mid‐term clinical and angiographic outcomes in a moderate‐sized series of 86 consecutive patients who underwent placement of 108 premounted Duet stents in 98 coronary lesions. Procedural success, accomplished in all patients, was accompanied by a significant reduction in lesion severity from 89% ± 11% before to 5% ± 3% diameter stenosis after the procedure ( P = 0.0001) and a 0.9% incidence of subacute stent thrombosis. Angiographic restudy at 5.7 months in 89% of eligible patients revealed a binary in‐stent restenosis rate of 26%. Coronary stenting with the new Duet stent confers a low risk of stent thrombosis and a favorable mid‐term clinical and angiographic outcome despite the presence of a large proportion of patients at high risk of in‐stent restenosis.
