Coronary stenting early before non-cardiac surgery: is the endothelial progenitor cell capturing coronary stent a solution?

Abstract

The authors report, for the first time, immediate and mid-term outcome of early antiplatelet therapy discontinuation followed by uneventful non-cardiac surgery and endovascular aortic repair, few days after successful deployment of an endothelial progenitor cell capturing coronary stent, in three consecutive patients.
