Key result
Coronary implantation of silicone-carbide-coated stents in bail-out situations without oral anticoagulation resulted in a 9% combined in-hospital complication rate and 21% restenosis at 6 months.
Why the study?
Does coronary implantation of silicone-carbide-coated stents without oral anticoagulation prevent complications in patients requiring bail-out stenting?
Observational (n=44)
Does coronary implantation of silicone-carbide-coated stents without oral anticoagulation prevent complications in patients requiring bail-out stenting?
Coronary implantation of silicone-carbide-coated stents is feasible in bail-out situations without oral anticoagulation and is associated with a low complication rate.

May support coated stents without anticoagulation in bail-out stenting; leaves open confirmation via randomized trials.
Özbek et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Threatened or abrupt coronary closure (bail-out situations) (n=44). Silicone-carbide-coated Palmaz-Schatz stents was evaluated on Combined in-hospital complication rate including death, emergency revascularization, stent-related myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis. Coronary implantation of silicone-carbide-coated stents in bail-out situations without oral anticoagulation resulted in a 9% combined in-hospital complication rate and 21% restenosis at 6 months.
