Background Recent emphasis on reduced duration and/or intensity of antiplatelet therapy following PCI irrespective of indication for PCI may fail to account for the substantial risk of subsequent nontarget lesion events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. This study sought to investigate the benefits and risks of extended-term (>12-month) DAPT as compared with short-term DAPT in high-risk "TWILIGHT-like" ACS patients undergoing PCI. Methods All consecutive patients fulfilling the "TWILIGHT-like" criteria undergoing PCI from January 2013 to December 2013 were identified from the prospective Fuwai PCI Registry. High-risk "TWILIGHT-like" patients were defined by at least 1 clinical and 1 angiographic feature based on TWILIGHT trial selection criteria. The present analysis evaluated 4,875 high-risk "TWILIGHT-like" patients with ACS who were event-free at 12 months after PCI. The primary outcome was the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke at 30 months while BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding was key secondary outcome. Results Extended DAPT compared with shorter DAPT reduced the composite outcome of all-cause death, MI, or stroke by 63% (1.5% vs. 3.8%; HRadj: 0.374, 95% CI: 0.256 to 0.548; HRmatched: 0.361, 95% CI: 0.221-0.590). The HR for cardiovascular death was 0.049 (0.007 to 0.362) and that for MI 0.45 (0.153 to 1.320) and definite/probable stent thrombosis 0.296 (0.080-1.095) in propensity-matched analyses. Rates of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding (0.9% vs. 1.3%; HRadj: 0.668 [0.379 to 1.178]; HRmatched: 0.721 [0.369-1.410]) did not differ significantly in patients treated with DAPT > 12-month or DAPT ≤ 12-month. The effect of long-term DAPT on primary and key secondary outcome across the proportion of ACS patients with 1-3, 4-5, or 6-9 risk factors showed a consistent manner (Pinteraction > 0.05). Conclusion Among high-risk "TWILIGHT-like" patients with ACS after PCI, long-term DAPT reduced ischemic events without increasing clinically meaningful bleeding events as compared with short-term DAPT, suggesting that extended DAPT might be considered in the treatment of ACS patients who present with a particularly higher risk for thrombotic complications.

Antithrombotic Management

Background Long‐term use of antiplatelet agents after acute coronary syndrome in diabetic patients is not well known. Here, we describe antiplatelet use and outcomes in such patients enrolled in the EPICOR Asia (Long‐Term Follow‐up of Antithrombotic Management Patterns in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients in Asia) registry. Methods and Results EPICOR Asia is a prospective, observational study of 12 922 patients with acute coronary syndrome surviving to discharge, from 8 countries/regions in Asia. The present analysis included 3162 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 9602 patients without DM. The impact of DM on use of antiplatelet agents and events (composite of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke, with or without any revascularization; individual components, and bleeding) was evaluated. Significant baseline differences were seen between patients with DM and patients without DM for age, sex, body mass index, cardiovascular history, angiographic findings, and use of percutaneous coronary intervention. At discharge, ≈90% of patients in each group received dual antiplatelet therapy. At 2‐year follow‐up, more patients with DM tended to still receive dual antiplatelet therapy (60% versus 56%). DM was associated with increased risk from ischemic but not major bleeding events. Independent predictors of the composite end point of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in patients with DM were age ≥65 years and use of diuretics at discharge. Conclusions Antiplatelet agent use is broadly comparable in patients with DM and patients without DM, although patients with DM are more likely to be on dual antiplatelet therapy at 2 years. Patients with DM are at increased risk of ischemic events, suggesting an unmet need for improved antithrombotic treatment.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased morbidity in acute coronary syndrome patients, but impact on outcomes beyond 1 year is unclear. Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis from the long-tErm follow-uP of antithrombotic management patterns In acute CORonary syndrome patients (EPICOR) registry (NCT01171404), a prospective, observational study conducted in Europe and Latin America, which enrolled acute coronary syndrome survivors at discharge. Antithrombotic management patterns, mortality, a composite endpoint of death/new non-fatal myocardial infarction/stroke and bleeding events were assessed after 2 years of follow-up in patients with or without AF. Results: Of 10,568 patients enrolled, 397 (4.7%) had prior AF and 382 (3.6%) new-onset AF during index hospitalisation. Fewer patients with AF underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (52.1% vs. 66.6%; P<0.0001). At discharge, fewer AF patients received dual antiplatelet therapy (71.6% vs. 89.5%; P<0.0001); oral anticoagulant use was higher in AF patients but was still infrequent (35.0% vs. 2.5%; P<0.0001). Use of dual antiplatelet therapy and oral anticoagulants declined over follow-up with over 50% of all AF/no AF patients remaining on dual antiplatelet therapy (55.6% vs. 60.6%), and 23.3% (new-onset AF) to 42.1% (prior AF) on oral anticoagulants at 2 years. At 2 years, mortality, composite endpoint and bleeding rates were higher in AF patients (all P<0.0001) compared to patients without AF. On multivariable analysis, the risk of mortality or the composite endpoint was significant for prior AF ( P=0.003, P=0.001) but not new-onset AF ( P=0.88, P=0.92). Conclusions: Acute coronary syndrome patients with AF represent a high-risk group with increased event rates during long-term follow-up. Prior AF is an independent predictor of mortality and/or ischaemic events at 2 years. Use of anticoagulants in AF after acute coronary syndrome is still suboptimal.

Abstract Introduction Very few patients with history of cancer are included in clinical trials. With this study from real-life patients, we try to analyze the ischemic and bleeding risk of patients with history of cancer who were treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The data analyzed in this study were obtained from the fusion of 3 clinical registries of ACS patients: BleeMACS (2004–2013), CardioCHUVI/ARRITXACA (2010–2016) and RENAMI (2013–2016). All 3 registries include consecutive patients discharged after an ACS with DAPT and undergoing PCI. The merged data set contain 26,076 patients. A propensity-matched analysis was performed to match the baseline characteristics of patients with and without previous history of recent cancer. The impact of prior cancer in the ischemic and bleeding risk was assessed by a competitive risk analysis, using a Fine and Gray regression model, with death being the competitive event. For ischemic risk we have considered a new acute myocardial infarction (AMI), whereas for bleeding risk we have considered major bleeding (MB) defined as bleeding requiring hospital admission. All events occurred with DAPT, as follow-up time was censored by DAPT suspension/withdrawal. Results From the 26,076 ACS patients, 1,661 have prior history of cancer (6.4%). Patients with cancer were older, and with more cardiovascular risk factors. DAPT with prasugrel/ticagrelor was less frequently prescribed in patients with cancer in comparison with the rest of the population (14.5% vs 22.4%, p<0.001). During a mean follow-up of 12.2±4.8 months, 964 patients died (3.7%), and 640 AMI (2.5%) and 685 MB (2.6%) were reported. The unadjusted cumulative incidences of AMI and MB were higher in patients with prior cancer (5.1 and 5.2 per 100 patients/year, respectively) than in those with prior cancer (2.4 and 2.6 per 100 patients/year, respectively). After propensity-score matching, we obtained two matched groups of 1,656 patients. Patients with prior cancer showed a significant higher risk of AMI (sHR 1.44, 95% CI 1.01–2.04, p=0.044), but not higher risk of MB (sHR 1.21, 95% CI 0.88–1.68, p=0.248), in comparison with those without prior cancer. Conclusions In ACS patients discharged with DAPT after PCI, prior history of cancer is an independent factor of higher ischemic risk – in terms of AMI, but it is not an independent predictor of increased hemorrhagic risk.
