[Major predictors of stent thrombosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome following transcutaneous coronary intervention who received different double antiplatelet therapy].

The review analyzes the reports addressing from different standpoints the issue of stent thrombosis and its major predictors in patients with acute coronary syndrome following transcutaneous coronary interventions. The review focuses on comparative efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and clopidogrel and the effect of double antiplatelet therapy on stent thrombosis. The issue of patients' compliance with double antiplatelet therapy is also discussed.
