VILLEGAS F, PAULA ANDREA et al. Clinical features of patients with drug-eluting stent and bare-metal stent. CES Med. [online]. 2009, vol.23, n.1, pp.37-46. ISSN 0120-8705.
Objective: To characterize the clinical features of patients intervened with either medicated or conventional stent in 2004, at the Cardiovascular Unit of Clínica Medellín. Methodology: Cross sectional descriptive study of 157 patients intervened with stent in the Clínica Medellín during 2004. Patients were analyzed according to the implanted stent. Results: From the 157 patients, 96 were men (61,1%). The implanted stent was medicated in 23,3 % and conventional in 77,7 %. In terms of comorbidities, hypertension was found in 63,7 %, diabetes in 24,2 % and dyslipidemia in 38,2 %. The most frequent postsurgical symptoms were angina in 11,5 % and chest pain in 10,2 %; 5,7% patients died, 88,9 % of them with conventional stent, 11,1 % drug-eluting stent, and one case related to the implantation by itself. Conclusion: Conventional type of stents is implanted more frequently in elderly and male patients with personal history of smoking and hypertension, and family history of coronary disease. It is also preferred in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The major observed complication was coronary syndrome. Very limited number of patients died from causes related to the stent.
