Key result
Surgery in patients with coronary stents increased the risk of cardiac death 1.58-fold during follow-up, with ischemic risk inversely related to time from PCI and influenced by stent type.
Why the study?
Does the type of coronary stent and the timing of surgery after percutaneous coronary intervention affect the risk of adverse cardiac and bleeding events?

Surgery after stenting may warrant timing caution; leaves open optimal stent-specific strategies pending prospective trials.

Does the type of coronary stent and the timing of surgery after percutaneous coronary intervention affect the risk of adverse cardiac and bleeding events?
Effect estimate: 1.58x risk
Surgery in patients with prior coronary stenting is common and carries significant ischemic and bleeding risks, which are inversely related to the time from PCI and influenced by stent type, with new-generation DES showing similar or better safety compared to bare-metal stents.
Saia et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Previous coronary stenting (n=39,362). Surgery (cardiac and noncardiac) vs. No surgery / different stent types and timing was evaluated on Cardiac death within 30 days from surgery (1.58x risk). Surgery in patients with coronary stents increased the risk of cardiac death 1.58-fold during follow-up, with ischemic risk inversely related to time from PCI and influenced by stent type.
