6- Versus 24-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Implantation of Drug-Eluting Stents in Patients Nonresistant to Aspirin: Final Results of the ITALIC Trial (Is There a Life for DES After Discontinuation of Clopidogrel)
Conclusions Two-year outcomes in the ITALIC trial confirmed the 1-year results and showed that patients receiving 6-month DAPT after percutaneous coronary intervention with second-generation drug-eluting stent have similar outcomes to those receiving 24-month DAPT.

Current Use of Oral Anticoagulants and Prognostic Analysis in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Coronary Stenting.
CONCLUSIONS: In real-life AF patients undergoing coronary stenting, guideline-recommended VKA was less used. AF patients had adjusted worse prognosis during 12-month follow-up after discharge. It is of utmost importance to improve the current status of oral anticoagulants use. PMID: 28584203 [PubMed - in process]

Prevalence, Management, and Long-Term (6-Year) Outcomes of Atrial Fibrillation Among Patients Receiving Drug-Eluting Coronary Stents
Conclusions Among patients receiving DES implantation, AF was not rare and was associated with increased ischemic and bleeding risk. In patients with AF, triple therapy was not associated with decreased ischemic events but was associated with increased bleeding risk compared to DAPT.

Cangrelor reduces the risk of ischemic complications in patients with single-vessel and multi-vessel disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Insights from the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial
Conclusion In the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial, MVD and SVD patients had similar ischemic outcomes at 48hours and 30days. Cangrelor consistently reduced ischemic complications in both SVD and MVD patients without a significant increase in GUSTO severe bleeding. Clinical perspectives What's known? Cangrelor is a novel, intravenous, potent, and rapidly acting P2Y12 inhibitor that has been demonstrated to reduce the rate of ischemic events at 48hours in patients who received PCI compared with clopidogrel. What's new? In contrast to prior studies, we found that in this modern cohort, patients with SVD and MVD had a similar risk of i...

Use of prasugrel vs clopidogrel and outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in contemporary clinical practice: Results from the PROMETHEUS study
Conclusions In contemporary clinical practice, patients receiving prasugrel tend to have a lower-risk profile compared with those receiving clopidogrel. The lower ischemic and bleeding events associated with prasugrel use were no longer evident after accounting for these baseline differences.

Gender related differences in antiplatelet treatment patterns and outcome: insights from the GreekAntiPlatElet(GRAPE) Registry
ConclusionsIn a contemporary ‘real life’ cohort of ACS patients treated with PCI and focusing on antiplatelet treatment one‐year ischemic outcome does not differ by gender, while women do present more frequently not actionable bleeding events.This article is protected by copyright.

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with Diabetes and Acute Coronary Syndromes Managed without Revascularization
Conclusions Among NSTE ACS patients managed medically without revascularization, patients with DM had a higher risk of ischemic events that was amplified among those treated with insulin. There was no differential treatment effect with a more potent DAPT regimen of aspirin + prasugrel vs. aspirin + clopidogrel.

Clinical events beyond one year after an acute coronary syndrome: insights from the RECLOSE 2-ACS study.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients at risk of adverse events beyond 12 months after an ACS may be identified by simple clinical and angiographic characteristics such as age, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, prior MI and multivessel CAD. The risk of adverse events progressively increases with the number of these high-risk features. PMID: 28317790 [PubMed - in process]

Association of Measured Platelet Reactivity with Changes in P2Y12 Receptor Inhibitor Therapy and Outcomes Following Myocardial Infarction: Insights into Routine Clinical Practice from the TRANSLATE-ACS Study
Conclusions Only one-third of PCI-treated MI patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity were switched to a more potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor. Intensification of antiplatelet therapy was associated with lower risk of ischemic events at 1year among HPR patients.

Impact of Cerebrovascular Events Older Than One Year on Ischemic and Bleeding Outcomes With Cangrelor in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Coronary Interventions
Conclusions— Among patients in the CHAMPION trials with a prior cerebrovascular event at least 1 year before the percutaneous coronary intervention, the efficacy and bleeding profile of cangrelor compared with clopidogrel was similar to that in the overall trial.

Outcomes in patients treated with ticagrelor or clopidogrel after acute myocardial infarction: experiences from SWEDEHEART registry
Conclusion Ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel post-ACS was associated with a lower risk of death, MI, or stroke, as well as death alone. Risk of bleeding was higher with ticagrelor. These real-world outcomes are consistent with randomized trial results.

A randomized clinical trial comparing long-term clopidogrel vs aspirin monotherapy beyond dual antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting coronary stent implantation: Design and rationale of the Harmonizing Optimal Strategy for Treatment of coronary artery stenosis-Extended Antiplatelet Monotherapy (HOST-EXAM) trial
Conclusions The HOST-EXAM will be the first large-scale randomized controlled study to directly compare the efficacy and safety of long-term antiplatelet monotherapy beyond DAPT after DES implantation. This study will provide clinical evidence to establish optimal regimen for long-term antiplatelet therapy after DES implantation.

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.
