Antithrombotic therapy for secondary prevention in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with percutaneous coronary intervention: options for personalization to reduce bleeding or ischaemic risks
MASTER DAPT (2021): abbreviated DAPT non - inferior for primary endpoints, reduced BARC ≥2 bleeding
STOPDAPT - 2 ACS (2022): abbreviated DAPT failed to reach non - inferiority, increased MI rates, reduced TIMI bleeding
T - PASS (2024): abbreviated DAPT achieved non - inferiority and superiority, reduced BARC ≥3 bleeding
ULTIMATE DAPT (2024): abbreviated DAPT reduced BARC ≥2 bleeding, achieved non - inferiority for MACE
HOST - BR (2025): in non - HBR stratum, 3 - month DAPT non - inferior for NACE and MACCE, superior for bleeding; in HBR stratum, 1 - month DAPT did not reach non - inferiority for NACE
4D - ACS trial (2025): abbreviated DAPT achieved non - inferiority and superiority, reduced bleeding
NEO - MINDSET trial (2025): SAPT with potent $P2Y_{12}$ inhibitor did not achieve non - inferiority
TARGET - FIRST trial (2025): abbreviated DAPT achieved non - inferiority and superiority, reduced BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding
2023 ESC guidelines recommend 12 - month DAPT as default (except HBR), based on pivotal RCTs
More potent $P2Y_{12}$ inhibitors (prasugrel, ticagrelor) recommended over clopidogrel
For event - free patients after 3 - 6 months of DAPT and not at high ischaemic risk, ESC suggests single antiplatelet therapy (preferably $P2Y_{12}$ inhibitor)
Some experts advocate 1 - 3 months of DAPT followed by ticagrelor single antiplatelet therapy based on RCTs and meta - analyses
缺血风险超过出血风险
2023 ESC guidelines recommend 12 - month DAPT for high ischaemic and low bleeding risk patients
Consider continuation of a second antithrombotic agent for extended long - term secondary prevention
For increased ischaemic risk and low bleeding risk, long - term DAPT after 1 year may be appropriate, e.g., aspirin + ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily
In selected high - risk individuals, extended dual antithrombotic therapy (aspirin + VLDR) may be appropriate
出血风险超过缺血风险
Abbreviate or de - escalate initial DAPT in HBR patients
Abbreviating DAPT and continuing single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin after 3 - 6 months or $P2Y_{12}$ inhibitor after 1 - 3 months) reduces bleeding without increasing ischaemic events
De - escalating DAPT by switching potent $P2Y_{12}$ inhibitors to clopidogrel (routinely after 1 - 3 months or guided by genetic tests after 1 - 4 weeks) decreases bleeding without increasing ischaemic events
Avoid prolonged DAPT or aspirin + VLDR beyond 12 months
高缺血和高出血风险
High ischaemic and bleeding risk co - exist in 5 - 10% of patients, up to 55% in complex PCI
$P2Y_{12}$ inhibitor monotherapy after 1 - 3 months of DAPT has similar fatal and ischaemic event rates and lower major bleeding risk
HBR should be prioritized to guide DAPT duration decision - making
Extended DAPT strategies may not benefit HBR/HIR patients
低缺血和低出血风险
Current guidelines recommend 12 - month standard DAPT (aspirin + prasugrel/ticagrelor)
Consider DAPT abbreviation or de - escalation as bleeding risk may outweigh ischaemic risk
结论
Personalize DAPT duration and intensity for ACS patients post - PCI based on thrombotic and bleeding risks
Consider alternative DAPT regimens due to bleeding reduction, low late - phase risk with new DES, and high HBR prevalence
Focus on managing modifiable risk, with bleeding risk dominating DAPT decision - making
Follow clinical consensus statements to minimize events and improve outcomes
临床共识声明
ACS的标准DAPT治疗
Current guidelines recommend 12 - month DAPT as standard/default strategy after ACS
缺血风险评估
Incidence of ischaemic events with standard DAPT: 5 - 10% in first year, 1 - 2% ST mostly within 30 days
Ischaemic risk determined by clinical, anatomical, procedural factors, overlapping with bleeding risk factors
Biomarkers (PFT, CRP) not useful for guiding APT de - escalation/abbreviation
Further research needed on clinical risk scores for treatment and outcome improvement
出血风险评估
Incidence of non - CABG - related major bleeding: 2 - 5% in first year, up to a third in HBR
Bleeding risk determined by clinical, anatomical, procedural factors, overlapping with ischaemic risk factors
Additional research needed for robust bleeding risk biomarkers
No reliable validated bleeding risk score for clinical use
最小化出血风险的治疗选择
缩写DAPT
Early DAPT abbreviation (first month) exposes patients to excess ischaemic risk
After 3 - 6 months of DAPT, aspirin monotherapy reduces major bleeding in non - HIR patients
After 1 - 3 months of DAPT, $P2Y_{12}$ inhibitor monotherapy reduces major bleeding
Ticagrelor preferred for monotherapy after DAPT (except clopidogrel in HBR)
Ticagrelor monotherapy may be preferable to aspirin in non - HBR patients in first year
DAPT强度降阶
PFT can identify high - risk patients, but PFT - guided de - escalation doesn't improve outcomes
Genotype - guided DAPT de - escalation (using clopidogrel in non - CYP2C19 loss - of - function patients) reduces major bleeding
DAPT de - escalation (unguided/guided) within first month post - ACS reduces bleeding
