Clopidogrel-taking behavior by drug-eluting stent patients: Discontinuers versus continuers
BACKGROUND Each day, patients make choices whether or not to take their prescribed medications. Previous research has shown that 1 in 7 myocardial infarction (MI) patients discontinued thienopyridines within 1 month of receiving a drug-eluting stent (DES) with serious consequences. This qualitative research study explored in depth the clopidogrel-taking behavior among DES-treated patients who q...
متن کاملClopidogrel desensitization after drug-eluting stent placement.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that a standardized outpatient clopidogrel desensitization protocol would be safe and effective. BACKGROUND Adverse reactions to clopidogrel are not uncommon, and affected patients must switch to ticlopidine after drug-eluting stent placement, despite its more malignant side-effect profile, because of the risk of ischemic events associated with premature discontinua...
متن کاملAspirin and Clopidogrel Resistance in Drug Eluting Stent Era
Platelets play a central role in the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis. Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin has been shown to reduce ischemic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stenting. Although dual antiplatelet therapy reduces the risk of cardiovascular episodes after PCIs, a substantial number of incidents continue to occur. Many ca...
متن کاملIntravascular brachytherapy versus drug-eluting stents for the treatment of patients with drug-eluting stent restenosis.
Drug-eluting stents (DESs), although promising technology, still are associated with restenosis; therefore, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of intravascular radiation therapy for the treatment of DES in-stent restenosis (ISR). Treatment of DES ISR has not been established, although intravascular radiation therapy is an effective treatment for patients with ISR of bare metal stents. Other m...
