Summary: | The impact of age on the incidence and timing of non-cardiac surgery after coronary stent implantation is unknown. We evaluated the incidence and timing of non-cardiac surgery after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation according to patient age.
A total of 37,915 consecutive patients treated by DES implantation between February 2003 and April 2014 were included in this study. The number of patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery were as follows: 4263 (11.2%) within 1 year, 5357 (14.1%) within 2 years, and 6311 (16.6%) within 3 years of DES implantation. Patients were divided into four groups according to age: |
