Ischemic and Bleeding Events After First Major Bleeding Event in Patients Undergoing Coronary Stent Implantation

There is a scarcity of data on ischemic and bleeding events in patients who experienced major bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Moreover, there also is a shortage of data on comparative outcomes between patients with and without interruption of an antithrombotic drug after major bleeding. We evaluated the incidence and prognostic impacts of ischemic (myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke) and bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5) events after major bleeding in 12,691 consecutive patients who underwent first PCI in the Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto PCI registry cohort-3.
