Triple Therapy With Aspirin, Prasugrel, and Vitamin K Antagonists in Patients With Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation and an Indication for Oral Anticoagulation
This study sought to evaluate whether prasugrel may serve as an alternative to clopidogrel in patients with triple therapy. Background: Approximately 10% of patients who receive dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention have an indication for oral anticoagulation and are thus treated with triple therapy. The standard adenosine diphosphate receptor blocker in this setting is clopidogrel. Data regarding prasugrel as part of triple therapy are not available. Methods: We analyzed a consecutive series of 377 patients who underwent drug-eluting stent implantation and had an indication for oral antico...
