  • There was also a 3 percent reduction in MI, which occurred in 204 DES patients and 249 BMS patients (P=0.02), and a 3.2 percent reduction in mortality with 258 and 305 patients dying during follow up (P=0.02). (medicaleconomics.com)
  • Primary and secondary outcomes We investigated the volume of procedures nationwide, the changes of the risk profile of patients and in-hospital mortality of both techniques. (bmj.com)
  • BACKGROUND: The relationship between platelet reactivity and long-term adverse events following implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) has been incompletely characterized. (duke.edu)
  • Conclusions: In this long-term follow-up analysis of DES compared to BMS in Japanese patients with AMI, there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE. (fujita-hu.ac.jp)
  • Moreover, all of the patients in this trial will be followed long-term to ensure that these favorable results are maintained. (dotmed.com)
  • How often are goals of care (GOC) discussed during hospitalization of long-term care residents, and what patient characteristics make this more. (the-hospitalist.org)
  • However, the effect of strict, long-term glucose control on platelet reactivity in these patients remains uncertain. (revespcardiol.org)
  • Multiple long-term risks are also associated with drug eluting stents. (hindawi.com)
  • After PCI, patients returned to work an average of five weeks earlier than those undergoing CABG, and there was no difference in long term employment status. (bmj.com)
  • Medinol has completed two registrational trials in patients with coronary artery disease, which met its primary and secondary endpoints. (wikipedia.org)

  • Several trials have compared an initial treatment strategy of PCI with a strategy of CABG in patients with multivessel coronary disease. (bmj.com)
  • The PERSEUS clinical program compared the ION Stent to prior-generation Boston Scientific stents in more than 1,600 patients in two parallel trials at 90 centers worldwide. (prnewswire.com)
  • Current treatment guidelines are based principally on consensus opinion and intuition rather than hard evidence that extending DAPT reduces the risk of late and very late ST. In fact, in more recent trials, patients experiencing very late ST are more commonly on DAPT than off. (ptca.org)

  • To help validate the observational study results, researchers applied propensity score matching and performed logistic regression to predict DES treatment by 67 patient, procedural, and hospital variables and then analyzed outcomes in 2,952 matched DES and BMS patients with 1,476 in each group.
