en la Unidad de Cardiología Intervencionista del Cardiocentro "Ernesto Che Guevara"
de Vil a Clara, Cuba, durante el período febrero 2010 – abril 2012. 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-

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

design were used, which included the test of homo-

for the comparison of percentages based on the Chi-

As a result of these statistical hypothesis tests, the
