Stents
KL is a 61-year-old Caucasian man with unstable angina who requires percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent placement. The cardiologist has selected a drug-eluting stent (DES). Before the surgery, the hospital pharmacist counsels him about the importance of dual antiplatelet therapy after the surgery. During the course of the counseling session, the pharmacist learns that the patient is highly educated, is married, and plans to have elective knee-replacement surgery later in the year.
