Figures suggest that there are 65,000 PCIs undertaken each year in the UK due to acute coronary syndrome. This session aims to review the role of oral antiplatelets for ACS patients with a novel way to tailor therapy based on ischaemic and bleeding risk. Dan Jones – Specialist Cardiology Registrar at the Barts Heart Centre - will give a clinicians perspective on the evolution of stents (and thrombogenicity) and give the participant a behind the scenes perspective in the cath lab to talk through additional factors that may alter a patients dual antiplatelet therapy. | ||||
