Abstract
The current guidelines for percutaneous coronary intervention use recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation. The optimal duration of DAPT is however area of debate. Recent clinical trials and meta-analyses suggest that the choice of DAPT duration should be tailored individually, based on the balance between ischemic and bleeding risk carried by the patient.Entities:
