Contemporary Trends, Characteristics, and Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Stent Thrombosis
Authors' conclusion
In this contemporary, nationwide, real-world analysis, there was no temporal change in the frequency of PCI for ST. Most STs were early or very late. PCI for ST was associated with a higher rate of in-hospital adverse outcomes.
