RESUMO
The use of colchicine is associated with a significant reduction of cardiac adverse events in patients with coronary artery disease. Past small randomized trials with oral immunosuppressive or anti-inflammatory therapies have demonstrated a reduction of adverse clinical events after bare metal stent implantation. The potential role of adjunctive colchicine after bare-metal stent implantation, compared with drug-eluting stent alone, is unknown. The primary end point of the study will be to compare cost-effectiveness at 1 year of follow-up of coronary intervention with bare-metal stent implantation plus 1 mg of colchicine during 3 months versus percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent implantation alone.
