Why the study?
Does impedance aggregometry improve the safety of epidural catheter removal in a patient on dual antiplatelet therapy after recent coronary stenting?
Does impedance aggregometry improve the safety of epidural catheter removal in a patient on dual antiplatelet therapy after recent coronary stenting?
Impedance aggregometry may help balance the risks of stent occlusion and epidural hematoma when removing an epidural catheter in patients on recent dual antiplatelet therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice for epidural removal on DAPT; hypothesis-generating for aggregometry-guided timing.
Bergmann et al. (2007) studied this question.
