Background: The utility of polymer-permanent, polymer-absorbable, and polymer-free drug-eluting stents (DES) in the context of different eluting drugs in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of different DES strategies in post-PCI patients.
Methods: Digital databases were searched to select all randomized control trials.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the best duration and choice of antiplatelet therapy for patients with acute coronary syndrome after undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
- A network meta-analysis was conducted on 32 trials with over 103,000 patients, comparing 12-month dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with several other strategies, including varying doses and durations.
- The findings suggest that the combination of aspirin and ticagrelor for 3 months, followed by aspirin and clopidogrel, significantly lowers major adverse cardiovascular events compared to other DAPT strategies.
Background: Current understanding of outcomes of cardiogenic shock (CS) in Asian populations is limited. We aim to study the clinical outcomes of CS in Asian population compared with non-Asians in the US.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried between 2002-2019 to identify hospitalizations with CS.
