Physicians are increasingly being confronted with questions regarding the appropriate management of patients with recently implanted coronary stents who are in need of noncardiac surgery. Specifically, what is the optimal timing of elective procedures and how should antiplatelet therapy be managed in these patients, especially in those in need of emergent procedures? Continued antiplatelet therapy through the perioperative period might increase the risk of surgical bleeding while interruption of antiplatelet therapy predisposes to stent thrombosis, particularly in the setting of systemic hypercoagulation that frequently occurs after some surgeries. 1 In this issue of Anesthesiology, two papers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota provide further insight into these perplexing issues. 2, 3Deployment of a stent after balloon angioplasty reduces both the acute risk of abrupt vessel closure by sealing coronary artery dissections and the long-term risk of restenosis by preventing elastic recoil and negative vessel remodeling. What bare metal stents (BMS) do not prevent, and may actually stimulate, is the development of neointimal hyperplasia, the other major determinant of restenosis. This provided the rationale for coating stents with substances, such as sirolimus and paclitaxel, which inhibit the growth and proliferation of smooth muscle cells, the major cellular constituent of the neointima. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2003, drug-eluting stents (DES) have had a major impact on reducing the incidence of target vessel revascularization, the most important clinical indicator of restenosis, by as much as 75% compared to BMS.
