Obesity and cardiovascular thrombotic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents

Obesity and cardiovascular thrombotic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents

Background:Previous studies have reported conflicting findings regarding the relation of body mass index (BMI) to outcomes following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). No study to date has directly examined the effect of obesity on cardiovascular thrombotic events after stent implantation.Ob...

Zusammenfassung:Background:Previous studies have reported conflicting findings regarding the relation of body mass index (BMI) to outcomes following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). No study to date has directly examined the effect of obesity on cardiovascular thrombotic events after stent implantation.Objective:To evaluate the effect of obesity on cardiovascular thrombotic events in patients undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents.Methods:We studied 4972 patients between January 2004 and December 2006. Patients were divided into three groups according to body mass index: normal (BMI
