Stent Thrombosis and Intrastent Thrombus Formation in Patients Undergoing Elective PCI: Results of an Angioscopic Substudy of the Randomized Trial PRASFIT-Elective (PRASugrel for Japanese PatIenTs with Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Elective PCI)
Abstract:Background: Angioscopy was performed in a group of patients in the PRASugrel For Japanese PatIenTs with Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Elective PCI (PRASFIT-Elective) study to determine the incidence and clinical features of stent thrombosis.
