ADAPT-DES: Proton Pump Inhibitors and Clopidogrel in Patients with DES

Original Title: Proton Pump Inhibitors, Platelet Reactivity, and Cardiovascular Outcomes After Drug-Eluting Stents in Clopidogrel-Treated Patients. The ADAPT-DES Study. Some proton pump inhibitors interfere with clopidogrel metabolism and could attenuate P2Y12 reception. Prior observational and randomized studies have reported contradicting results on the clinical significance of this drug interaction. The aim of this trial was...

Prasugrel in the Treatment of Clopidogrel Nonresponders Undergoing PCI

Original Title: Prasugrel in Clopidogrel Nonresponders Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (RECLOSE-3 study). Reference: Valenti R, et al. JACC Cardiovasc Interv. 2015 Oct;8(12):1563-70. Clopidogrel Nonresponders have higher risk of adverse events (cardiovascular death and stent thrombosis) compared to responders. Studies published so far have failed to demonstrate the use of platelet function tests in ACS patient...

Prasugrel em pacientes não-respondedores a clopidogrel

Métodos e Resultados: Os não-respondedores ao clopidogrel foram identificados por reatividade plaquetária residual ≥ 70% e o teste foi repetido após a mudança para o tratamento com prasugrel. O desfecho primário do estudo foi mortalidade cardíaca em 2 anos e os desfechos secundários foram o composto de morte cardíaca, infarto do miocárdio, e trombose de...

ISAR-SAFE: 6 vs. 12 month clopidogrel administration after DES implantation

The aim of this randomized double blind control trial was to validate the safety and efficacy of 6 months vs. 12 months clopidogrel treatment in patients receiving DES. Primary end point was a combination of death, infarction, in-stent thrombosis, stroke and major bleeding. Secondary end point was the individual analysis of each one of the...

TRANSLATE-ACS: One-year prasugrel versus clopidogrel after acute coronary syndrome

Platelet inhibition is critical in reducing atherothrombotic risk in the short and long term after an acute coronary syndrome, especially if the patient has received coronary angioplasty. Few data are available in the real world in terms of safety and efficacy of prasugrel versus clopidogrel in this clinical context. This registry involved 12227 patients undergoing...
