Limb Outcomes With Ticagrelor Plus Aspirin in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Atherosclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with T2DM and atherosclerosis are at high risk of limb events. Ticagrelor decreased this risk, but increased bleeding. Future trials evaluating the combination of ticagrelor and aspirin would further elucidate the benefit/risk of such therapy in patients with PAD, including those without coronary artery disease.

The Association of CHADS-P2A2RC Risk Score With Clinical Outcomes in Patients Taking P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy After 3 Months of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The CHADS-P2A2RC risk score is valuable in discriminating high-ischemic-risk patients. Even in such patients with a high risk of ischemic events, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was associated with a lower incidence of bleeding without increased risk of ischemic events compared with prolonged DAPT.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02079194.PMID:38654565 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2023.0268 (Source: Korean Circulation Journal)

Antiplatelet therapy for treatment of coronary artery disease in older patients
Arch Cardiovasc Dis. 2024 Apr 12:S1875-2136(24)00055-X. doi: 10.1016/j.acvd.2024.02.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronary artery disease in older patients is more frequently diffuse and complex, and is often treated by percutaneous coronary intervention on top of medical therapy. There are currently no specific recommendations for antiplatelet therapy in patients aged≥75 years. Aspirin remains pivotal, and is still indicated as a long-term treatment after percutaneous coronary intervention. In addition, a P2Y12 inhibitor is administered for 6-12 months according to clinical presentation. Age is a minor bleeding ris...
