Incidence, Predictors, and Outcome of Thrombosis After Successful Implantation of Drug-Eluting Stents (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

Thrombotic events remain a critical cause of mortality following percutaneous coronary interventions, despite advancements in antiplatelet therapy. This paper investigates the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes associated with stent thrombosis in an observational cohort study involving 2,229 patients at a 9-month follow-up. Key findings indicate that premature antiplatelet therapy discontinuation, renal failure, diabetes, and specific lesion characteristics significantly influence the likelihood of stent thrombosis, emphasizing the need for careful patient management post stenting.
