Aspirin Alone Treatment After Carbostent Stenting. A trial assessing the acute and 30-day outcome of patients undergoing Carbostent implantation in native coronary arteries, using aspirin alone as antiplatelet therapy.

Conclusion
Carbostent’s Carbofilm coating may help prevent stent thrombosis, given that aspirin alone appears to provide adequate anticoagulation.
