- Abstract:
- PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The management of patients with recent coronary artery stents presenting for noncardiac surgery has become a major topic of interest and concern for all perioperative caregivers. This review will update recent reports and particularly new guidelines as well as recommendations. RECENT FINDINGS: Based on the available literature all experts recommend avoiding premature discontinuation of antiplatelet drug therapy if possible except for a few surgical procedures. Drug-eluting stents obviously carry more risks than bare-metal stents. SUMMARY: Anaesthesiologists may understand the specific problem of drug-eluting stents, the recent debate among cardiologists and the implications for the perioperative scenario.
