The WOEST study: Critical considerations and applicability

Abstract: Léčba trojkombinací (triple therapy -TT) antagonistů vitaminu K (VKA), kyselinou acetylsalicylovou a clopidogrelem je v současné době doporučována jako optimální antitrombotická terapie u pacientů s nutnou perorální antikoagulací během perkutánní koronární intervence spolu s implantací stentu (PCI-S). I když je TT zřejmě vysoce účinná v prevenci kombinované incidence úmrtí, infarktu myokardu, opakované revaskularizace, trombózy stentu a cévní mozkové příhody, je zároveň spojena s vysokou incidencí krvácení.

“…After a one-year follow-up, treatment with clopidogrel and an OAC compared with aspirin, clopidogrel and an OAC was associated with an (expected) significantly lower rate of bleeding complications, but, and quite surprisingly, no increase in the rate of thrombotic events (111). Although the practice of dropping the aspirin component early after an ACS is attractive, and has actually gained important consensus and practical implementation in several centers, it should be noted that the WOEST trial was severely underpowered to prove its efficacy, and is still awaiting independent confirmation (112).…”

“…Regarding safety, which indeed constituted its primary outcome, and consistently with the previously mentioned Danish databases, the WOEST study confirms the benefit of double therapy on the incidence of total bleeding, compared with triple therapy. Conversely, due to the small simple size, which represents the main limitation of the study, the WOEST trial is not enough powerful to significantly detect difference in the secondary outcome of efficacy (reduction of the combined incidence of death, stroke, stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization) ( Rubboli and De Caterina, 2014 ). Anyhow, a meta-analysis by D’Ascenzo and collaborators has also highlighted no difference in subsequent cardiovascular events between therapy with clopidogrel plus OAC and triple antithrombotic therapy ( D’Ascenzo et al, 2015 ).…”

“…Anyhow, a meta-analysis by D’Ascenzo and collaborators has also highlighted no difference in subsequent cardiovascular events between therapy with clopidogrel plus OAC and triple antithrombotic therapy ( D’Ascenzo et al, 2015 ). The major criticisms to the trial, in addition to the inadequate sample size, concern the exclusion criteria which do not allow the inclusion of patients at increased risk for stent thrombosis and the mean age of enrolled patients (about 70 years) that is lower than the real-world of unselected patients (about 73 years) ( Rubboli and De Caterina, 2014 ).…”
