“…During the chronic phase of CAD, OAC monotherapy is encouraged based on 2 Japanese randomized studies: the OAC-Alone (Oral Anticoagulation Alone) trial, 19 which demonstrated the non-inferiority of OAC alone relative to combination therapy with an antiplatelet agent for a composite of cardiovascular and bleeding events; and the AFIRE (Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Events with Rivaroxaban in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease) trial, which demonstrated the superiority of rivaroxaban monotherapy over combination therapy with rivaroxaban and an antiplatelet agent for both bleeding events and cardiovascular events in patients with stable CAD and AF, from 1 year after PCI. 18 , 36 The percentage of rivaroxaban use also increased after 2020, presumably due to the results of the AFIRE trial. Figure 5B shows that most patients with AF atrial or flutter undergoing PCI have been treated with an antiplatelet-free strategy 12 months after the intervention since 2020.…”

“…However, there have been no studies attempting to analyze whether the benefit of treatment varies with the elapsed time after PCI in RCTs or observational studies. Recently, a post-hoc analysis of AFIRE study including patients who had undergone PCI has been reported which showed that in the PCI subgroup, the main results were consistently observed that rivaroxaban monotherapy was associated with lower risks of the primary efficacy and safety endpoints, compared to combination therapy ( 25 ). The median time from PCI to index date was 48 (IQR, 21–91) months, and most were more than 24 months after PCI.…”

“…On the other hand, DOAC plus antiplatelet therapy was associated with a significantly higher risk of major bleeding compared with DOAC monotherapy (HR 1.61; 95% CI, 1.38–1.87), as well as higher risk of net adverse events (NAE) (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.02–1.43). Although these results were the main data we found in this scenario, we must take into account the methodological limitations of the AFIRE study and the premature stopping of the trial due to an increase in mortality in the combination therapy arm in the interpretation of the results [ 63 , 64 ].…”
