Hey Abbott, you may want to look in medtronics IFU. It repeatedly mentions possible complications associated with stent thrombosis.....Here is the exact wording in their IFU:
Note: Observation of the patient and angiographic evaluation of the stent site should be performed periodically within the first 30 minutes after stent placement. If stent placement is associated with the onset of thrombus or suspected thrombus in the region of the stented segment, intracoronary infusions of a thrombolytic agent is recommended......
So, do any of you think a Dr. is going to observe a patient on the table for 30 minutes post stent implant? I think not....Oh yeah, it also mentions stent deformation......
The first patient implanted with the resolute stent at Albany Medical center had to return to the cath lab 2 hours after implantation....STENT THROMBOSIS.....
Good selling
