Impact of the Degree of Peri-Interventional Platelet Inhibition After Loading With Clopidogrel on Early Clinical Outcome of Elective Coronary Stent Placement

TL;DR: The level of platelet aggregation immediately before elective coronary stenting in patients pre-treated with a high loading dose of clopidogrel is correlated with early outcome after the procedure, and this is a significant independent predictor of 30-day MACE.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytochrome P450 2C19 681G>A Polymorphism and High On-Clopidogrel Platelet Reactivity Associated With Adverse 1-Year Clinical Outcome of Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-Eluting or Bare-Metal Stents

TL;DR: Patients carrying at least one CYP2C19*2 allele are more prone to high-on clopidogrel platelet reactivity, which is associated with poor clinical outcome after coronary stent placement, and the effect of ClopidOGrel Loading and Risk of PCI is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time Dependence of Platelet Inhibition After a 600-mg Loading Dose of Clopidogrel in a Large, Unselected Cohort of Candidates for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

TL;DR: After loading with 600 mg of clopidogrel, the full antiplatelet effect of the drug is achieved after 2 hours, and Statins do not interfere with the level of platelet inhibition after this dose.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Speed Rotational Atherectomy Before Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent Implantation in Complex Calcified Coronary Lesions: The Randomized ROTAXUS (Rotational Atherectomy Prior to Taxus Stent Treatment for Complex Native Coronary Artery Disease) Trial

TL;DR: Routine lesion preparation using RA did not reduce late lumen loss of DES at 9 months, and Balloon dilation with only provisional rotablation remains the default strategy for complex calcified lesions before DES implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bivalirudin versus Unfractionated Heparin during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

TL;DR: In patients with stable and unstable angina who underwent PCI after pretreatment with clopidogrel, bivalirudin did not provide a net clinical benefit as compared with unfractionated heparin, but it did significantly reduce the incidence of major bleeding.
