As 5% of these patients will then present for non-cardiac surgery within the first twelve months it is important that the anaesthetist understands how to manage these patients perioperatively and appreciate the dilemma between continuing the antiplatelet therapy and risk bleeding, and stopping them and risk life threatening acute stent thrombosis, which can have a mortality of between 15 and 45%.
