Pharmacological approaches for the prevention of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention

TL;DR: Although no single drug has conclusively proven effective yet, the promise of a number of agents, together with other nonpharmacological strategies will likely result in further reductions in the incidence of restenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triple antiplatelet therapy during percutaneous coronary intervention is associated withimproved outcomes including one-year survival

TL;DR: Among patients undergoing coronary stent placement with aspirin and a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, clopidogrel pretreatment is associated with a reduction of death and MI irrespective of the type of GP IIB/ IIIa inhibitor used.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-year follow-up in the coronary angioplasty versus excisional atherectomy trial (CAVEAT I)

TL;DR: Long-term follow-up of the 1012 patients randomized to atherectomy or angioplasty has revealed a statistically significant excess of deaths after directional atheresctomy that was not evident at 6 months and remains statistically significant at 1 year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bleeding during thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction: mechanisms and management.

TL;DR: An algorithm is developed for using cryoprecipitate, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets infusion with antifibrinolytic agents as a last alternative for hemorrhage and the role of platelet inhibition should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes Mellitus, Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Blockade, and Heparin Evidence for a Complex Interaction in a Multicenter Trial

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed characteristics and outcomes of diabetic patients enrolled in a large multicenter study (EPILOG) and found that after angioplasty, major complications and ischemic events occur more frequently in diabetic than nondiabetic patients.
