Stent Thrombosis in Coronary Bifurcation After DES Implantation
Author: Sunao Nakamura, New Tokyo Hospital, Japan
SUMMARY
- The incidence of stent thrombosis in Asian races is relatively low.
- Emergent procedure for AMI was an only predictor of ST in early ST and Hemodialysis, chronic renal failure(e-GFR < 30/Non-HD) and usage of two stent in bifurcation were predictor of late and very late ST.
- Discontinuation of both thienopyridine and aspirin, but not discontinuation of thienopyridine therapy alone, was associated with an increased risk of Stent Thrombosis.
- Landmark analysis did not suggest an apparent clinical benefit of thienopyridine use beyond 6 months after SES implantation
