*Complex patient defined as having a bifurcation, bypass grafts, in-stent restenosis, AMI <72 hours, left ventricular ejection fraction <30%, unprotected left main coronary artery, more than 2 vessels stented, renal insufficiency or failure (creatinine >140 µmol/L), lesion length >27 mm, more than 1 lesion per vessel, lesion with thrombus or total occlusion (pre-procedure TIMI=0).
