Randomized comparison between bare-metal stent plus colchicine versus drug-eluting stent alone in prevention of clinical adverse events after percutaneous coronary intervention.

The use of colchicine is associated with a significant reduction of cardiac adverse events in patients with coronary artery disease. Past small randomized trials with oral immunosuppressive or anti-inflammatory therapies have demonstrated a reduction of adverse clinical events after bare metal stent implantation. The potential role of adjunctive colchicine after bare-metal stent implantation, compared with drug-eluting stent alone, is unknown.
