Incidence and Outcome of Surgical Procedures After Coronary Bare-Metal and Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation

Abstract

Surgical procedures were commonly performed after coronary stent implantation, and the risk of ischemic and bleeding complications in surgical procedures was low. In patients selected to receive DES or BMS, there were no differences in outcomes. Perioperative administration of dual-APT was not associated with lower risk for ischemic events.
