Correction to: A Novel Bridging Strategy for Patients Undergoing Emergent Non-Cardiac Surgery with a Recent Coronary Stent

In the original publication, the abstract text, informed consent and disclosure text have been published incorrectly.

The text in the abstract section currently reads:

He was successfully fitted with a drug-eluting stent of the LAD, but subsequently developed a sarcoma 2 months later that required urgent surgery. The novel direct-acting, reversible P2Y12 receptor inhibitor cangrelor was used to bridge this patient and ongoing antiplatelet treatment, allowing surgery for the removal of a soft tissue sarcoma.

The correct statement should read as:

He was successfully stented with a drug-eluting stent of the LAD, but subsequently developed a sarcoma 2 months later that required urgent surgery. The novel direct-acting, reversible P2Y12 receptor inhibitor cangrelor was used to bridge this patient followed by ongoing antiplatelet treatment, allowing surgery for the removal of a soft tissue sarcoma.

Informed consent under the heading ‘Case Information’ currently reads:

Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants for inclusion in the study.

The correct statement should read as:

Informed consent was obtained from the individual participant for inclusion in the study.

The ‘Disclosure’ statement currently reads:
