Dual Versus Mono Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with Acute Mild-to-Moderate Stroke: A Multicentre Perspective Cohort Study
ConclusionAspirin plus clopidogrel was associated with a reduction in the incidence of disability attributed to index stroke. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of moderate to severe bleeding complications between the two antiplatelet drug regimens.Trial Registration NumberChiCTR1900025214.

Influence of Genetic and Epigenetic Factors of P2Y12 Receptor on the Safety and Efficacy of Antiplatelet Drugs
AbstractPurposeP2Y12 receptor inhibitors are drugs that decrease the risk of stent thrombosis and lower the long-term risk of non-stent-related myocardial infarction and stroke. They inhibit the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to the P2Y12 receptor and effectively reduce platelet reactivity. However, considerable variability in the pharmacodynamics response contributes to a failure of antiplatelet therapy; this phenomenon is especially notorious for older drugs, such as clopidogrel. Some genetic polymorphisms associated with these drugs ’ metabolic pathway, especially in the CYP2C19 gene, can significantly decreas...

Association of CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Alleles with Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events of Clopidogrel in Stable Coronary Artery Disease Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Meta-analysis
ConclusionStable CAD patients treated with clopidogrel and carriedCYP2C19 LoF alleles undergoing PCI were associated with significantly increased risk of MACE compared to non-carriers, even markedly significant for Asian patients.

Comparative Safety and Effectiveness of Loading Doses of P2Y12 Inhibitors in Patients Undergoing Elective PCI: a Network Meta-analysis
ConclusionAlthough prasugrel and ticagrelor are known as more potent antiplatelet agents, their effects in preventing MI and stroke are marginal and do not translate into improved overall mortality and bleeding compared with clopidogrel.

Aspirin Alone Versus Dual Antiplatelet Therapy after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsOur systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that aspirin alone could decrease the risk of bleeding and was not associated with higher risk of mortality, stroke or myocardial infarction compared with DAPT.

Rationale and Design of the H-REPLACE Study: Safety and Efficacy of LMWH Versus Rivaroxaban in ChinEse Patients HospitaLized with Acute Coronary SyndromE
ConclusionsThe H-REPLACE trial offers an opportunity to assess clinical outcomes of rivaroxaban versus enoxaparin during the acute phase of ACS and may provide an alternative anticoagulation strategy for ACS patients, who missed the primary reperfusion therapy window and before selective revascularization.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov; NCT03363035.

Benefit-Risk Profile of DAPT Continuation Beyond 1  Year after PCI in Patients with High Thrombotic Risk Features as Endorsed by 2018 ESC/EACTS Myocardial Revascularization Guideline
ConclusionsAmong patients with ESC-endorsed HTR who were free from major ischemic or bleeding events 1  year after coronary stenting, continued DAPT beyond 1 year might offer better effectiveness in terms of atherothrombotic events and comparable safety in terms of clinically relevant bleeding compared with ≤ 1-year DAPT. ESC-HTR criteria is an important parameter to take into account in tailor ing DAPT prolongation.

Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Late or Very Late Stent Thrombosis
ConclusionFollowing successful primary PCI, patients with LST/VLST who received ticagrelor had fewer ischemic cardiovascular events at 1-yr follow-up, compared with those who received clopidogrel.

Efficacy and Safety of Potent Oral P2Y 12 Inhibitors in Medically Managed ACS Patients: a Meta-analysis
ConclusionPotent oral P2Y12 inhibitors, especially ticagrelor, decrease the risk of ischemic events in MMACS patients as compared with clopidogrel, without significantly increasing major bleeding.

Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel as Part of Dual or Triple Antithrombotic Therapy: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionThe use of ticagrelor as part of dual or triple antithrombotic therapy is associated with significantly higher rates of clinically relevant haemorrhagic complications compared with clopidogrel. Among triple therapy-treated patients, the use of ticagrelor might increase thromboembolic and ischaemic cardiac events.

CYP2C19 LOF and GOF-Guided Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
ConclusionsUsing bothCYP2C19 GOF and LOF alleles to select antiplatelet therapy appears to be the preferred antiplatelet strategy over universal clopidogrel and universal alternative P2Y12 inhibitor therapy for ACS patients with PCI.
