PY - 2017 T2 - Interventional Cardiology, 2e AB - Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most common procedures performed in US and European hospitals. In the United States, 954,000 PCI procedures were performed in 2010, and in over 90% of these procedures, at least 1 coronary stent was implanted.1 Stent thrombosis (ST) is the most feared complication of coronary stenting and is characterized by rapid accumulation of thrombus within or adjacent to the stent. ST is typically associated with the abrupt onset of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), manifesting as severe unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, or sudden cardiac death. ST should be distinguished from progressive in-stent restenosis, resulting in eventual vessel occlusion, typically presenting as progressive exertional angina, but occasionally as ACS.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesscardiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1146605938 ER -
