Article Synopsis
- Stent thrombosis is a rare but serious complication that can occur after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially when patients show signs of acute inflammation.
- In a study of 6880 patients undergoing PCI, those with elevated inflammatory markers had a nearly threefold increased risk of experiencing early stent thrombosis within 30 days.
- The findings suggest that if there are indicators of acute inflammation, elective PCI should be postponed, and further research is necessary for those with acute coronary syndrome.
