Abbreviated Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Followed by P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy versus 12 Months’ Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Abbreviated Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Followed by P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy versus 12 Months’... IntroductionAn increased incidence of stent thrombosis after implantation of first-generation drug-eluting stents led to a recommendation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 12 months after the procedure. However, given the use of second-generation and newer drug-eluting stents, this recommendation needs to be revisited. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have studied an abbreviated DAPT regimen of ≤ 3 months followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy, and results have been conflicting.ObjectiveWe performed a systematic review with meta-analysis of RCTs of abbreviated DAPT for ≤ 3 months followed by P2Y12 monotherapy compared with 12 months of DAPT.MethodsWe performed a systematic search of the MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, and DARE (Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects) databases for eligible RCTs.
