Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Drug-Eluting versus Bare-Metal Stents in Sweden

TL;DR: As compared with bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents are associated with a similar long-term incidence of death or myocardial infarction and provide a clinically important decrease in the rate of restenosis among high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stent Thrombosis in Sweden A Report From the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry

TL;DR: In this article, the role of risk factors and stent type for stent thrombosis (ST) using a large real world registry was evaluated, and the overall risk of ST was lower in drug-eluting stents compared with bare metal stents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triple antithrombotic therapy following an acute coronary syndrome: prevalence, outcomes and prognostic utility of the HAS-BLED score.

TL;DR: TT was relatively common following acute coronary syndrome and was associated with a threefold increase in major bleeding compared to DAPT at one year and the HAS-BLED risk score predicted bleeding events with moderate accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of upstream clopidogrel treatment in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

TL;DR: This large observational study suggests that upstream clopidogrel treatment prior to arrival at the catheterization lab is associated with a reduction in the combined risk of death or MI as well as death alone in patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI.
