Antiplatelet Therapy in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract: Platelets play a key role in mediating stent thrombosis, the major cause of ischemic events in the immediate period following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). For this reason, antiplatelet therapy, started at the time of PCI and continued for at least 30 days afterwards, is the cornerstone of antithrombotic therapy after PCI. However, the use of antiplatelet agents increase bleeding risk, with more potent antiplatelet agents further increasing bleeding risk. For this reason, balancing prevention of is… Show more

“…Dual antiplatelet therapy is very important during the initial days of PCI. 10,11 Latest Guidelines recommend that dual (mm) antiplatelet therapy should be continued for at least one-year in ACS patients. 12 At our center, we use drug-eluting stents (DES) for the primary PCI of most of the patients.…”

“…Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), through the use of a P2Y12 inhibitor, i.e. ticagrelor, prasugrel, or clopidogrel, along with aspirin, is the mainstay secondary prevention treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) [1]. Clopidogrel is a prodrug that requires hepatic activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP), primarily CYP2C19 [2,3].…”
