Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVES: METHODS: An individual-level linkage study was performed to identify dermatitis patients who had been patch tested with the European baseline series between 1979 and 2007 at Gentofte University Hospital (N = 18794) and who had also undergone PCI at some point in a Danish hospital. RESULTS: One hundred and forty-nine (0.8%) dermatitis patients who had undergone PCI with a metal stent were included. One hundred and forty-seven were patch-tested before undergoing PCI. Of the patients, 14.1% (21/149) had cardiac in- stent restenosis. Among patients with metal allergy, 2 (11.8%) had restenosis. CONCLUSIONS:
