The practice of adjunctive balloon post-dilatation is not consistent among interventionalists, particularly in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). There have been some concerns about the risks of adjunctive balloon post-dilatation, particularly in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This review will examine the data on the angiographic and clinical effects, and the risks of adjunctive balloon post-dilatation of stents in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
