Description

What if the future of cardiac care meant shorter duration of dual antiplatelet therapy without compromising safety? Join us as we explore this possibility with Dr. Joseph Szokol, a leading expert in clinical anesthesiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Dr. Szokol shares his insights into the revolutionary advancements in drug-eluting stent technology, which are reshaping how we approach perioperative care and patient safety. With over 600,000 cardiac stents placed each year, this episode is a must-listen for understanding the evolving landscape and its implications for anesthesia professionals.

Reflecting on past challenges, we transport you back to insights from the 2009 APSF newsletter that spotlighted the critical risks of stent thrombosis associated with older stent technologies. Discover how recommendations have dramatically shifted—from urging a 12-month delay for elective surgeries post-stent placement to adapting to breakthroughs in new generation stents. With a compelling narrative filled with historical context and cutting-edge research, this episode equips listeners with vital knowledge and updated guidelines that could significantly enhance perioperative patient management and safety.
