Variability in Individual Responsiveness to Clopidogrel: Clinical Implications, Management, and Future Perspectives

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of individual response variability to clopidogrel on clinical outcomes and current and future directions for its management is reviewed. But, despite the use of clopidine, a considerable number of patients continue to have cardiovascular events.
Journal Article

Human monocyte-derived macrophages induce collagen breakdown in fibrous caps of atherosclerotic plaques. Potential role of matrix-degrading metalloproteinases and implications for plaque rupture.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that increased macrophage density and/or activation in the atherosclerotic plaque may induce collagen breakdown in the fibrous cap by secreting MMPs and possibly other proteases, thus contributing to vulnerability to plaque rupture is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue Factor Modulates the Thrombogenicity of Human Atherosclerotic Plaques

TL;DR: The results show that tissue factor is present in lipid-rich human atherosclerotic plaques and suggest that it is an important determinant of the thrombogenicity of human atheosclerotic lesions after spontaneous or mechanical plaque disruption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-eluting stent thrombosis: results from a pooled analysis including 10 randomized studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the risk of stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents and tested the hypothesis that the risk was related to stent length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the relative thrombogenicity of atherosclerotic plaque components: Implications for consequences of plaque rupture☆

TL;DR: Plaques with a large atheromatous core content are at high risk of leading to acute coronary syndromes after spontaneous or mechanically induced rupture because of the increased thrombogenicity of their content.
