The present study prospectively evaluated adjunctive antiplatelet therapy in patients without insulin-requiring diabetes during elective coronary stenting. Three hundred patients were randomized to one of three treatment groups: clopidogrel pretreatment, adjunctive abciximab, or control. Stenting was successful in 98% and no deaths occurred. Thirty-day and 1-year major adverse coronary events (MACEs) was similar in all groups. A subgroup of 109 patients undergoing single-vessel stenting of type A/B1 lesions with short guidewire times had no postprocedure myocardial infarction or 30-day MACE. We conclude that patients with these characteristics may safely undergo elective coronary stenting without adjunctive antiplatelet therapy.
