In this blog post, we will discuss the AHA guidelines for dental treatment after stent placement and how Statcare can assist you in navigating these recommendations. What is a Stent? A stent is a small mesh-like tube that is placed in a narrowed or blocked artery to restore blood flow.
Coronary artery stents are metallic scaffold devices that physically support narrowed coronary arteries to alleviate symptoms of ischemic coronary artery disease.
14 gru 2023 · This study aimed to assess bleeding risk after exodontia in patients with recent percutaneous coronary intervention during uninterrupted single or dual antiplatelet therapy. A total of 100 patients who had a history of percutaneous stent insertion during the past year candidate for extraction of teeth were included in the study.
There were no cases of transfusion, rehospitalization for bleeding, or major cardiovascular events for the 2 propensity-matched groups. Conclusions: We found that most dental extractions in coronary stenting patients can be carried out safely without stopping multiple antiplatelet agents.

In most cases a stent is placed in the coronary artery during balloon angioplasty. Made of wire mesh, the stent is placed over the balloon and expands when the balloon is inflated. The stent keeps its shape when the balloon is removed, helping to keep the artery open and preventing the artery from re-narrowing (called ‘restenosis’). However ...
