Optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy for coronary artery disease

Abstract: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome is a complex decision. We review current literature on standard duration DAPT versus short duration DAPT (6 months or shorter) or extended duration DAPT (>12 months) after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent placement, and prolonged treatment after 12 months in acute coronary syndrome. Current guideline recommendations are summarised, including the use of risk scores fo… Show more

“…Our finding that 9.7% of AMI patients had a history of AF is similar to a previous study [2]. The risk of ischemic stroke is approximately 1% in post-PCI AF patients [46]. In our study, the risk was even higher at approximately 5% at 1 year and 8% at the end of follow-up in both groups, suggesting additive effects of the intracoronary and systemic prothrombotic environment accompanying AF and AMI.…”

“…All the studies used an appropriate horizon of analysis ( 12 months) that allows time for all the relevant and significant outcomes to be detected. 45 Five articles examined the CYP2C19*2 LOF allele only, 22,23,26,28,29 which might limit the generalizability of the results, as it is known that *3 is also a common allele. 6 The results of the quality assessment reflected that all the studies had a good quality which means that they adhered to most of the QHES items.…”

“…This blurred line between switching to a single antiplatelet agent after DAT discontinuation and maintaining DAT is of considerable debate in clinical studies. Many bleeding risk scores were developed to assist in choosing the adequate therapeutic regimen and its duration, some of the scores being externally validated [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] ( Table S1 ).…”
