Assessment of Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel Treatment in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Conclusions: Among patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI, ticagrelor reduces the incidence of MACCE and the composite end point of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, and stroke compared with clopidogrel. Ticagrelor also reduces the need for GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors. However, no significant difference was observed in the risk of bleeding between the 2 groups.

Design and Rationale of the RE ‐DUAL PCI Trial: A Prospective, Randomized, Phase 3b Study Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Dual Antithrombotic Therapy With Dabigatran Etexilate Versus Warfarin Triple Therapy in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Who Have Undergone Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Stenting
Antithrombotic management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing coronary stenting is complicated by the need for anticoagulant therapy for stroke prevention and dual antiplatelet therapy for prevention of stent thrombosis and coronary events. Triple antithrombotic therapy, typically comprising warfarin, aspirin, and clopidogrel, is associated with a high risk of bleeding. A modest‐sized trial of oral anticoagulation with warfarin and clopidogrel without aspirin showed improvements in both bleeding and thrombotic events compared with triple therapy, but large trials are lacking. The RE‐DUAL PCI trial (NCT...

Rationale and design of the SAFE-A study: SAFety and Effectiveness trial of Apixaban use in association with dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
CONCLUSION: The SAFE-A study is the first randomized controlled trial to compare 1-month vs. 6-month P2Y12 inhibitor therapy in combination with aspirin and apixaban, in patients with atrial fibrillation who undergo DES implantation. This study will provide data that may guide the optimal management of triple antithrombotic therapy. PMID: 27443596 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Proton-Pump Inhibitors Reduce Gastrointestinal Events Regardless of Aspirin Dose in Patients Requiring Dual Antiplatelet Therapy
ConclusionsGastroprotection with PPI therapy should be utilized in appropriately selected patients with coronary artery disease requiring DAPT, even if the patients are on low-dose aspirin. (Clopidogrel and the Optimization of Gastrointestinal Events Trial [COGENT]; NCT00557921)

Clinical Significance of Laboratory-determined Aspirin Poor Responsiveness After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Conclusions The majority of APR patients were suitable for tailoring. Neither APR including tailored patients nor AHR were associated with adverse 30-day efficacy or safety clinical outcomes.

Longer dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention has higher anti-ischaemic efficacy than shorter DAPT but is associated with more frequent bleeding
Commentary on: Spencer FA, Prasad M, Vandvik PO, et al.. Longer- versus shorter-duration dual-antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting stent placement: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Intern Med 2015;163:118–26. Context Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin plus a P2Y12 receptor antagonist is recommended after drug eluting stent implantation (DES) for at least 12 months by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association1 and for 6–12 months by European guidelines. Recent randomised controlled trials (RCT) suggested comparable efficacy of short-term DAPT versus therapy o...

Clinical Relevance of Anticoagulation and Dual Antiplatelet Therapy to the Outcomes of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Recent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Stent.
CONCLUSIONS: TT, DT and DAPT displayed similar efficacy and safety. Although the superiority of OAC vs. DAPT for stroke prevention in AF patients has been demonstrated by previous randomized trials, a smaller frequency of high thromboembolic risks' features in DAPT group of the present study may have prevented the observation of a higher incidence of ischemic stroke in this group.

Eptifibatide infusion versus placebo in high risk patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes managed with urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A prospective multicenter randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: Preoperative use of eptifibatide vs. placebo is linked to significantly reduced 12-month MACCE rate in patients with NSTE-ACS requiring urgent CABG, while it simultaneously seems not to confer a greater risk of postoperative bleeding. PMID: 26771733 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Addition of cilostazol to aspirin therapy for secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized, open-label trial
Conclusions In patients who underwent coronary stent implantation, the addition of cilostazol to aspirin therapy was associated with lower rates of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events at 2 years compared with aspirin monotherapy.

Clopidogrel Versus Aspirin as an Antiplatelet Monotherapy After 12-Month Dual-Antiplatelet Therapy in the Era of Drug-Eluting Stents Pharmacology
Conclusions— After 12-month DAPT, clopidogrel monotherapy, when compared with aspirin monotherapy, might be associated with a reduced risk of recurrent ischemic events in patients receiving DES.

Antithrombotic therapy in patients with combined coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation.
CONCLUSION: In each clinical scenario, the risks of coronary artery or stent thrombosis in CHD and risks of stroke in AF need to be carefully balanced against the risks of bleeding. We make recommendations for management based on the evidence which is available at this time and indicate the many gaps which are currently being addressed by randomised clinical trials.

Clinical characteristics, management and 1-year outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome in Iran: the Iranian Project for Assessment of Coronary Events 2 (IPACE2)
Conclusions Our study showed that the composition of Iranian patients with ACS regarding the type of ACS is similar to that in developed European countries and is unlike that in developing countries of the Middle East and Africa. We found that our patients with ACS are treated with high levels of adherence to guideline-recommended in-hospital medications.

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion: Device thrombosis in clopidogrel non-responders
Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been recently proposed as a safe and effective strategy to reduce the embolic stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation that are not amenable to long lasting oral anticoagulation [1]. After LACC, a temporary double anti-platelets regimen with aspirin and clopidogrel is suggested to prevent closure device thrombosis and enhance its endothelization [2]. Although clopidogrel resistance has been associated with recurrent cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention [3], no reports exist concerning the occurrence of LAAC device thrombosis in patients with c...

Insufficient platelet inhibition and thromboembolic complications in patients with intracranial aneurysms after stent placement.
CONCLUSIONS The ADP inhibition percentage is related to thromboembolic complications after stent placement for intracranial aneurysms. The increase of the ADP inhibition may decrease the risk of thromboembolic complications. PMID: 26587657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Ten year experience of using a novel metabolic protocol in 'off pump' coronary artery bypass revascularization
Conclusions: Off-pump coronary artery bypass coupled with this novel metabolic protocol was associated with a low operative mortality and acceptable perioperative morbidities, including patients with left main coronary artery disease. These benefits are apparent at both short- and medium-term follow up.
