Substudy TALOS AMI: from Ticagrelor to Clopidogrel in Patients with High Risk of Bleeding and AMI

The preference for the use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors such as ticagrelor and prasugrel in patients with high risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is based on randomized studies and current guideline recommendations. However, clopidogrel is still recommended for patients at high risk of bleeding. Several strategies have been looked

ESC 2023 | Anticoagulation After Primary PCI in STEMI Patients

The empirical prescription of anticoagulants after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also know as post-procedural anticoagulation (PPA), is nowadays a common practice that uses various types of medications. Despite studies like HORIZONS-AMI and EUROMAX, in which 41% of patients received PPA, and the CCC-ACS registry, where 75% of subjects received PPA after primary PCI, European and

ESC 2023 | Extended Monotherapy with Clopidogrel vs. DAPT in High-Risk Patients

An increasing number of patients currently present both an elevated ischemic risk and hemorrhagic risk. This means that the selection of the optimal antiplatelet treatment is a clinical challenge. Several studies have shown that P2Y12 monotherapy after minimum dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is a novel strategy to reduce bleeding risk without increasing ischemic risk. Furthermore,

Short Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), one to three months, followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy has been shown to reduce bleeding events without increased cardiovascular events vs. standard DAPT, according to guidelines.  However, the rate of major bleeding within the first month after procedure remains significant when using these strategies.  The use of aspirin-free therapies (ASA)

MACT Study: Monotherapy with P2Y12 Inhibitor Associated with Colchicine after Acute Coronary Syndrome

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the current standard for preventing thrombotic events in high-risk patients with coronary artery disease, as well as in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, this approach increases the risk of bleeding. To reduce this risk, there have been studies that discontinued the use of

STREAM-2: Reduced Dosage of Tenecteplase for Patients over 60 Years Old

Reduced dosage of tenecteplase in elderly patients undergoing a pharmaco-invasive strategy. Delays in achieving timely reperfusion in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST elevation (STEACS), whether through fibrinolysis or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), are associated with increased mortality. European guidelines establish a target reperfusion time of 120 minutes after the first medical contact

Secondary Prevention with P2Y12 Inhibitors: How Consolidated Is This Long Term Alternative vs. Aspirin?

Secondary prevention with P2Y12 inhibitors vs aspirin monotherapy in CAD patients Antiaggregation therapy plays a central role at long term to prevent new cardiovascular events in atherosclerosis patients.  After repeat myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke, prognosis can vary considerably. Even though the current guidelines prefer aspirin as the first choice for secondary prevention over P2Y12

Abbreviated Therapy in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: How Safe Is Conservative DAPT Treatment?

Abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy in patients at high risk for bleeding and acute myocardial infarction. Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who undergo stent placement (percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI) conventionally require at least 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to reduce ischemic events. Patients with ACS who are also at high risk for bleeding

Abbreviated Antiaggregant Treatment in High Bleeding Risk Patients from the MASTER-DAPT (15-Month Followup)

Benefits of abbreviated antiaggregant treatment in high bleeding risk patients.  Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), established by different guidelines, reduces the risk of ischemic events at the expense of increased bleeding. This habitual APT strategy cannot be applied to patients at high risk of bleeding, which is why this populations are treated with shorter DAPT schemes
