Abstract
The duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) depends on the type of intervention and the clinical situation of the patient. After angioplasty alone (plain old balloon angioplasty, POBA) DAPT is not yet established but does, however, make sense to continue for 4 weeks. The duration of DAPT after placement of bare metal stents (BMS) is 4 weeks, after drug-eluting stents (DES) 6 months, after bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) systems 6-12 months and after drug-coated balloon catheters (DCB) without a new implant 4 weeks.Entities:
