Efficacy and Safety of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy after Coronary Stenting in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Conclusions The rates of POCO and coronary thrombotic events were significantly higher in patients with CKD compared with those without CKD, which was not affected by short- or long-term DAPT. Higher bleeding incidence by long-term DAPT was only observed in non-CKD patients but not in CKD patients. Further large scales studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
