Abstract:Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is mandatory after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, but optimal DAPT duration remains a topic of intense discussion. The shorter regimen of DAPT might be especially beneficial for high-bleeding-risk (HBR) patients. Novel stent platforms have been designed with innovations that should facilitate vessel healing following stent implantation and enable short DAPT. This review aimed to summarize evidence of the neointimal coverage … Show more
