Abstract

Guidelines advice against dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) discontinuation less than 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents (DES-PCI). However, any delay of necessary surgery in patients with descending thoracic (DTA) or abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), treated by DES-PCI, increases the risk of aneurysm rupture/dissection. We evaluated the safety of 8-week waiting time between DES-PCI and endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). 1152 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) needing elective DTA or AAA repair were enrolled and divided into two groups. Group A included 830 patients treated by DES-PCI for significant CAD who underwent surgery 8 weeks after implantation. Group B included 322 patients treated by DES-PCI at least 6 months before with no residual significant CAD and treated by elective EVAR. Groups were compared according to a composite of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, cerebrovascular events and bleeding. No aneurysm rupture/dissection occurred while waiting for surgery. Hospital averse events occurred in 6.2% (52/830) group A patients versus 6.5% (21/322) group B patients (p = 0.8). Mortality was 0.7% (6/830) in group A and 0.9% (3/322) in group B (p = 0...Continue Reading

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
