Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of elderly patients (over 75 years) undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI) using an antithrombotic strategy that considers their individual risks for bleeding and ischemic events.
- The research included 1,064 patients and found that the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and bleeding was lower in this tailored treatment group compared to a control group, with no cases of stent thrombosis in those receiving shorter dual antiplatelet therapy.
- The conclusion indicates that a risk-adjusted antithrombotic protocol for elderly patients after revascularization with the latest stent technology may lead to better health outcomes regarding both bleeding and ischemic events.
