Coronary Stents and Noncardiac Surgery [PDF]
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old man was admitted for investigation of a persistent cough. Chest x-ray revealed an opacity near the right upper-lobe bronchus. He was an ex-smoker, and his only previous medical history was of an acute coronary syndrome leading to the implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in his proximal left anterior descending ...
