1-Month or 3-Month DAPT in Women and Men at High Bleeding Risk Undergoing PCI

Open access

Abstract

Background In patients at high bleeding risk (HBR), short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with reduced bleeding and preserved ischemic protection.Objectives The aim of this study was to compare 2 short DAPT regimens, followed by aspirin monotherapy, in women and men at HBR undergoing PCI.Methods Data from 3 prospective, international studies (XIENCE Short DAPT Program) including patients at HBR undergoing PCI with fluoropolymer-based cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stents (XIENCE) were analyzed. The primary endpoint was the composite of death or myocardial infarction (MI) at 1 year. The key secondary endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types 2 to 5 bleeding.Results Among 3,364 patients, 1,154 (34.3%) were women. At 1 year, the rates of death or MI (7.6% vs 8.1%) and BARC types 2 to 5 bleeding (9.5% vs 9.2%) were similar in women and men. One-month and 3-month DAPT conferred a similar risk for death or MI in women (adjusted HR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.54-1.36) and men (adjusted HR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.75-1.44) (P for interaction = 0.783). In both sexes, BARC types 2 to 5 bleeding was numerically lower with 1-month DAPT, although not significant after propensity score stratification (women: 7.1% vs 11.2%; adjusted HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.43-1.02; men: 8.5% vs 9.7%; adjusted HR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.57-1.06) (P for interaction = 0.378).Conclusions Among patients at HBR undergoing PCI with everolimus-eluting stents, 1- and 3-month DAPT was associated with similar risk for ischemic events irrespective of sex. In both women and men, 1-month DAPT resulted in less clinically relevant bleeding, although the bleeding risk difference was not significant after propensity score stratification.

  • Fluoropolymers such as PTFE, FEP, and PVDF are widely employed in catheters, tubing, and filter membranes due to low friction, biocompatibility, and sterilization resilience, which are critical for life-supporting devices like neonatal catheters, feeding lines, endotracheal tubes, ECMO circuits, and dialysis systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
