About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Safety, Benefits and Complications of Long-term Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Angioplasty

1010 patients post stenting were enrolled to receive Plavix more than 12 months and less than that and rate of bleeding, complication and major cardiovascular adverse events ( MACE) were compared to evaluate safety and feasibility of long term Plavix therapy post stenting.

Read the detailed description

1010 patients from registry of angioplasty and stenting in Shiraz and Baghiatolah hospital were enrolled and long term Plavix therapy more than and less than 12 months were compared between two groups of patients prospectively and rate of major adverse cardiovascular events ( MACE) (death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accidents and revascularization) and rate of bleeding were compared between 2 groups.Syntax score and American heart association ( AHA) score of coronary involvement were measured and MACE was compared to these scores.
