Initial Experience of Bioabsorbable Polymer Everolimus-Eluting Synergy Stents in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Early Discontinuation of Dual-Antiplatelet Therapy
12/15/2016
Synergy stents (Boston Scientific) allow for early cessation of DAPT. This study assessed those in our unit who underwent PCI with a Synergy stent to examine a minimum of 6 months of clinical outcomes after early discontinuation of DAPT.
