TLDR
The bridging protocol in patients requiring surgery after recent PCI with DES seems adequate to prevent stent thrombosis in this high-risk group and the bleeding risk is not insignificant but in this patient group controllable without major late sequelae.
Abstract
Objectives To evaluate stent-related adverse cardiac events and bleeding complications within 30 days after surgical procedures in patients with recent drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, in whom a bridging protocol was used.

Perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy

TL;DR: This review focuses on the pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties of both older and novel antiplatelet drugs, and reviews current literature and guidelines addressing options for perioperativeAntiplatelet management.

Outcomes of preoperative bridging therapy for patients undergoing surgery after coronary stent implantation: A weighted meta-analysis of 280 patients from eight studies

TL;DR: A weighted meta‐analysis of the outcomes in patients with coronary stents undergoing bridging with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors prior to surgery is performed.

The risk of adverse cardiac and bleeding events following noncardiac surgery relative to antiplatelet therapy in patients with prior percutaneous coronary intervention.

TL;DR: Noncardiac surgery may be required within the first year after percutaneous coronary intervention in approximately 4% of patients and is the second most common reason for premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy (APT), which may, in turn, increase the risk of perioperative ischemic events, particularly stent thrombosis.

The aetiology of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery

TL;DR: Implementation of routine postoperative troponin assessment and accessible use of minimally invasive imaging should be considered to provide adequate individualised therapy and addition of preoperative imaging may improve the stratification of high-risk patients who may benefit from preoperative or perioperative interventions.

Collaborative meta-analysis of randomised trials of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in high risk patients

TL;DR: Aspirin (or another oral antiplatelet drug) is protective in most types of patient at increased risk of occlusive vascular events, including those with an acute myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke, unstable or stable angina, previous myocardian infarctions, stroke or cerebral ischaemia, peripheral arterial disease, or atrial fibrillation.

Sirolimus-eluting stents versus standard stents in patients with stenosis in a native coronary artery.

TL;DR: In this randomized clinical trial involving patients with complex coronary lesions, the use of a sirolimus-eluting stent had a consistent treatment effect, reducing the rates of restenosis and associated clinical events in all subgroups analyzed.

Incidence, predictors, and outcome of thrombosis after successful implantation of drug-eluting stents.

TL;DR: The cumulative incidence of stent thrombosis 9 months after successful drug-eluting stent implantation in consecutive "real-world" patients was substantially higher than the rate reported in clinical trials.
