Abstract 211: Implications of the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 Trial for U.S. Clinical Practice [Session Title: Poster Session II]
Conclusions: In contemporary clinical practice, a minority of patients are on a P2Y12inhibitor beyond 1-year post-MI. Applying PEGASUS trial findings to clinical practice would result in a large increase in P2Y12 inhibitor use with a cost per ischemic event averted that is strongly influenced by the choice of therapy.
