High risk of stent thrombosis in the first 6 months after coronary stenting: Do not discontinue clopidogrel early after ACS.

This dedicated ST registry shows that ST rates were very high when clopidogrel was discontinued before 6 months after index-PCI and therefore suggests that clopidogrel discontinuation in the first 6 months after ACS should be avoided.
