Six-month surgery delay ‘acceptable’ after DES implantation Posted: 13 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT The recommendation to delay noncardiac surgery for a year after receipt of a drug-eluting stent, compared with just 6 weeks for a bare-metal stent, may be too conservative, suggests research indicating that stent type does not influence the longer term risk for major adverse cardiac events.

Blood pressure reduction supported for early-stage kidney disease Posted: 13 Oct 2013 05:00 PM PDT Blood pressure reduction per se, rather than the particular antihypertensive used, reduces the risk for cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease, shows a meta-analysis published in BMJ.
