Background The net clinical benefit of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reflects the paradoxical effects of an increased risk of bleeding and a reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. A time‐constrained approach to DAPT has been recently investigated in 5 multicenter trials including GLOBAL LEADERS, STOPDAPT2 (Short and Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Everolimus‐Eluting Cobalt‐Chromium Stent‐2), SMART‐CHOICE, TWILIGHT (Ticagrelor With Aspirin or Alone in High‐Risk Patients After Coronary Intervention), and TICO (Ticagrelor Monotherapy After 3 Months in the Patients Treated With New Generation Sirolimus Stent for Acute Coronary Syndrome). Methods and Results We undertook a pooled analysis of these trials to assess the overall associations between time‐constrained P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (aspirin‐free regimen) for bleeding events, major adverse cardiovascular events, and all‐cause mortality as compared to standard care with DAPT for at least 12 months post‐percutaneous coronary intervention. We implemented a DerSimonian and Laird random effects meta‐analysis using the metafor package in R. 32 361 randomized trial participants, including 16 898 (52.2%) who had a history of acute coronary syndrome, underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, and had outcome data available. P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy from 1 to 3 months was associated with a reduced risk for bleeding (hazard ratio [HR] 0.60; 95% CI, 0.45‐0.81), including in the acute coronary syndrome group in which the magnitude of risk reduction was greatest (HR 0.50; 95% CI, 0.41‐0.61). The estimates of the effect of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy on the HR were also favorable for major adverse cardiovascular events (0.88; 95% CI, 0.77‐1.02) and all‐cause mortality (0.85; 95% CI, 0.71‐1.03). Conclusions Compared with DAPT for 12 months post‐percutaneous coronary intervention, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy from 1 to 3 months substantially reduces the risk of major and fatal bleeding and, in addition, confers potentially protective effects, for major adverse cardiovascular events and all‐cause mortality. Considering patient safety, the results support a strategy of DAPT for 1 to 3 months followed by aspirin‐free P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy.

Newer generation drug-eluting stents are the most commonly inserted stent in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention. This narrative review focuses on the evidence underpinning the perioperative management of patients with newer generation drug-eluting stents undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Six studies reported the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events according to the time interval from percutaneous coronary intervention to non-cardiac surgery, and the comparative risks of newer and first generation drug-eluting stents. No study demonstrated an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events once three months had elapsed between stent implantation and non-cardiac surgery. Only one study included patients with third and fourth generation drug-eluting stents. Seven studies analysed the relationship between antiplatelet therapy, major adverse cardiovascular events and perioperative bleeding. The risks of major adverse cardiovascular events do not appear to be increased if antiplatelet therapy is ceased for less than seven days but are increased if it is discontinued for more than seven days. Most studies reported no differences in the incidence of major bleeding associated with antiplatelet therapy. The risk of perioperative major adverse cardiovascular events in non-cardiac surgery does not appear to be increased after three months following implantation with newer generation drug-eluting stents. However, the possibility of increased risk cannot be excluded as most studies were inadequately powered. The thrombotic risk is substantially reduced in patients with fourth (polymer free) generation drug-eluting stents, and urgent non-cardiac surgery can be considered one month after percutaneous coronary intervention. Larger multicentre studies are needed to define the optimal window for non-cardiac surgery after percutaneous coronary intervention and provide definitive perioperative strategies for patients presenting for non-cardiac surgery after the implantation of newer generation drug-eluting stents.

Objective: Antiplatelet therapy is recommended in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who had the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). There has been a lack of population-based studies that showed the superior effectiveness of ticagrelor over clopidogrel and similar studies have not been conducted in Indonesia yet. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel in reducing the risk of MACE in patients with CHD after PCI.Methods: A retrospective cohort study with 1-year follow-up was conducted. 361 patients consisted of 111 patients with ticagrelor exposure and 250 patients with clopidogrel exposure. The primary outcome was MACE, defined as a composite of repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, or all-cause death. The association between antiplatelet exposure and the MACE was analyzed with Cox proportional hazard regression, adjusted for sex, age, comorbid, PCI procedures and concomitant therapy.Results: MACE occurred in 22.7% of the subjects. Clopidogrel had a significantly higher risk of MACE compared with ticagrelor (28.8%, vs 9.0%, hazard ratio (HR): 1.96 (95% CI 1.01 to 3.81, p=0.047). There were no significant differences in risk of repeat revascularization (20.40% vs 5.40%, HR: 2.32, 95% CI 0.99 to 5.42, p = 0.05), myocardial infarction (11.60% vs 3.60%, HR: 2.08, 95% CI, 0.73 to 5.93, p = 0.17), and death (1.60% vs 1.80%, HR: 0.77, 95% CI, 0.14 to 4.25, p = 0.77).Conclusion: Clopidogrel had a higher risk of MACE compared to clopidogrel in patients with CHD after PCI, but there were no significant differences in the risk of repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death.

Introduction: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. However, the impact of SAS on the clinical course after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains to be elucidated. Methods: A total of 206 consecutive patients who underwent PCI were included. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 3-year was compared among patients with untreated SAS (untreated SAS group; n=60), those with SAS treated by continuous positive alveolar pressure (CPAP group; n=20) and those without SAS (non-SAS group; n=96). MACE included cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and non-TVR (NTVR). Results: There was no significant difference in baseline clinical characteristics among the untreated SAS group, the CPAP group and the non-SAS groups, other than in age (74.1 ± 9.6 vs. 71.2 ± 0.33 vs. 68.2 ± 10.7, p = 0.002) and hemoglobin A1c levels (6.54 ± 0.87 vs. 6.61 ± 0.58 vs. 6.09 ± 0.70 %, p < 0.001). The incidence of MACE, TLR and TVR was significantly higher in the untreated SAS group than in the CPAP group and the Non-SAS group although there was no significant difference in the incidence of NTVR among the three groups (Figure). The untreated SAS was independently associated with the incidence of 3-year MACE (odds ratio 3.24, 95% confidence interval 1.36-8.20, p = 0.008). Conclusions: The incidence of MACE was significantly higher in patients with untreated SAS than in those treated with CPAP and those without SAS after PCI. The present findings may highlight the importance of SAS management in patients requiring PCI.

Compelling evidence from randomized controlled studies have confirmed the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy, with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor, in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events particularly among patients with acute coronary syndrome and/or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. They thus represent one of the most frequently prescribed drugs worldwide.
