Characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with de-escalation from prasugrel to clopidogrel after acute myocardial infarction - Insights from the prospective Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (JAMIR)
CONCLUSIONS: Although, patients with de-escalation from prasugrel to clopidogrel had higher bleeding risk profile than those continued on prasugrel, post discharge ischemic and bleeding events were similar between patients with and without de-escalation. De-escalation strategy may be an option for AMI patients with high risk for bleeding.PMID:33745775 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.03.001
