Key result
Perioperative antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary stents undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery requires careful planning to balance the dual risks of thrombosis and bleeding.
Why the study?
Patients with coronary stents undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery face dual perioperative risks of thrombosis and bleeding related to their antiplatelet therapy.
What are the appropriate plans for perioperative antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary stents undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery to balance thrombosis and bleeding risks?
What are the appropriate plans for perioperative antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary stents undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery to balance thrombosis and bleeding risks?
This review discusses strategies for managing perioperative antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary stents undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery to balance thrombosis and bleeding risks.
Highlights need for individualized perioperative care in stented patients; leaves open optimal regimens for randomized trials.
Among patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery (NCS), those with coronary stent implants are gradually becoming a patient group that cannot be easily overlooked. Previous history of heart disease, coronary stents and antiplatelet agents expose these patients to dual perioperative risks of thrombosis and bleeding. Formulating appropriate plans for perioperative antiplatelet therapy will help reduce the risks and ensure the safety of patients. We herein reviewed and analyzed various aspects of perioperative antiplatelet therapy for patients with coronary stent implants undergoing elective NCS, and discussed prospective research directions in the field.
