For patients receiving an everolimus-eluting stent implantation

Adverse Events Not Up With Six Months of DAPT

Comparable results for 12-month DAPT among patients receiving everolimus-eluting stents
Most patients who present to the emergency department after undergoing elective ureteroscopy complain of pain alone

Pain Most Frequent Cause of ER Visits Post Ureteroscopy

About two-thirds of patients presenting to emergency department complain of pain alone
Multiple plaque ruptures with larger cavities are seen more often in patients with intraprocedural stent thrombosis during percutaneous coronary intervention

Multiple Plaque Ruptures, Larger Cavities for IPST in PCI

In patients with intraprocedural stent thrombosis during percutaneous coronary intervention
Women undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with new generation drug-eluting stents have a higher prevalence of clinically relevant chest pain

More Chest Pain for Women Undergoing PCI With DES

Similarly low incidence of adverse cardiovascular events for men and women with new generation DES
For patients with carotid artery stenosis

ASA: Stenting, Endarterectomy Similar in Carotid Artery Stenosis

Two studies show similar short- and long-term outcomes for stenting versus surgery
For patients undergoing drug-eluting stent placement

High Rate of Clopidogrel Non-Adherence After DES Placement

Based on one-year refill data, 34 percent of patients had proportion of days covered <80 percent
For patients undergoing laryngotracheoplasty

Shorter Duration of Dysphagia Symptoms Without Stent

Findings in adult patients who underwent open airway reconstruction
For patients with noncomplex obstructive coronary artery disease

Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Deemed Noninferior

Noninferior to treatment with everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent for coronary artery disease
Routine use of dual antiplatelet therapy beyond six months after second generation drug-eluting stent implantation yields mixed clinical results

Long Duration Dual Antiplatelet Treatment Increases Bleeding

However, leads to small decrease in stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction after stent
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) continued beyond six months after drug-eluting stent implantation is associated with reduced stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction but also increased bleeding and all-cause mortality as compared to shorter-term DAPT therapy

Review: Short vs. Long Duration Dual Antiplatelet Tx After Stent

Longer DAPT linked to reduced stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction, increased bleeding, mortality
