Las variables anali- zadas fueron edad, sexo, factores de riesgo coronario, historia previa de angina o infarto, vaso afectado, tipo de reestenosis y de lesión tratada, diámetro del vaso y longitud de la lesión. Resultados: Predominaron los pacientes del sexo masculino (76,3 %), con edades
comprendidas entre 60-69 años (40,7 %). Los factores de riesgo más frecuentes fue- ron la hipertensión arterial (76,3 %), el hábito de fumar (37,3 %) y la diabetes mel itus tipo II (33,9 %). El vaso más afectado fue la descendente anterior (59,3 %), los diáme- tros arteriales eran predominantemente ≤ 2,5 mm (54,2 %) y la longitud de las lesio- nes > 20 mm (66,1 %). Las lesiones tipo B (52,5 %) y la reestenosis focal (57,6 %) fueron más frecuentes. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con reestenosis eran predominantemente hombres, entre
60-69 años de edad, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, tabaquismo y diabetes mellitus tipo II. La enfermedad de la descendente anterior, el diámetro del vaso ≤ 2,5 mm, la longitud de las lesiones > 20 mm, la lesión coronaria tipo B y la reestenosis fo- cal fueron más frecuentes.

CorSalud 2014 Jan-Mar;6(1):36-46 Sánchez Manzanares MG, et al. For the analysis and interpretation of results, sta- tistical techniques according to a descriptive study design were used, which included the test of homo- geneity of independent groups and goodness of fit test for the comparison of percentages based on the Chi- squared distribution. As a result of these statistical hypothesis tests, the value of the corresponding statistic for its p signifi- cance (value) was presented. According to the p value, the difference or association was classified as signi- ficant (p < 0.05) and not significant (p ≥ 0.05).
