Discontinuation of Anti-platelet Therapy and Risk for ST Overall stent thrombosis = 1.3% (P=0.09, N=2229) Incidence (%) Premature discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy was a major significant univariate predictor of stent thrombosis. The cumulative incidence of thrombosis was 29% (5 of 17 patients), with a hazard ratio of 152 (95% Confidence interval; 52 to 442; P<0.001); clopidogrel was discontinued in one patient. Other significant univariate predictors included prior brachytherapy, renal failure, bifurcation with 2 stents, bifurcation lesions, and diabetes, with respective cumulative thrombosis rates of 8.7%, 6.2%, 3.9%, 3.6%, and 2.5% (P<0.05). Unstable angina, thrombus, and unprotected left main were not significant univariate predictors of thrombosis.

The Public Health Question 10,000,000 DES patients Permanent implants Linear hazard 0.3-0.6%: 50,000 death/MI per annum Growing every year
DES Thrombosis: A Novel Regulatory Domain: Obligatory Drug-Device Safety Interaction Combination drug-on-device (Medical Device Reg) Studied in de-novo 1-vessel PCI to reduce restenosis Clopidogrel/Prasugrel: Thienopyridines (Drug Reg) Studied in ACS patients Public health issue: Crossover of drug-device “cultures” No clear regulatory predicate Combinations of new DES and new DAP Post-market “real world” population
