Stent thrombosis following bare-metal stent implantation: success of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention and predictors of adverse outcome.

abstract：AIM:Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) has been suggested as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in epidemiological studies. We sought to evaluate Lp-PLA(2) as a risk factor for future cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and to elucidate the relationshi...
