Bare Metal Stent Thrombosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Relation between stent thrombosis and calcium channel blocker after drug-eluting stent implantation

“…It is thought that patients who undergo PCI during ACS are exposed to a higher risk of ST than those who undergo elective stenting. Previous studies reported that the incidence of ST in ACS patients was higher (2.2-4.4%) than in patients who undergo elective stenting [4,20,21]. In this study, the incidence of ST was 1.02% in ACS patients but only 0.32% in non-ACS patients, and these results are consistent with previous data.…”

Systematic review of the clinical impact of dual antiplatelet therapy discontinuation after acute coronary syndromes

“…Nine studies reported comparative data on stent thrombosis (see Supplementary Table 6 online), six of which provided risk analyses ( Figure 6). 9,10,12,13,15,19,20,22,38 DAPT duration was positively associated with a lower risk of stent thrombosis in the five studies without randomised study design, including the two studies that included only individuals with ACS. No significant difference in the incidence of stent thrombosis was observed in patients randomly assigned to 6 or 24 months of DAPT.…”
