Antiplatelet Therapy and Stent Thrombosis After Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation

Abstract

Discontinuation of both thienopyridine and aspirin, but not discontinuation of thienopyridine therapy only, was associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. Landmark analysis did not suggest an apparent clinical benefit of thienopyridine use beyond 6 months after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation.
