ABSTRACT
Objective:
The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients after PCI with implantation of a drugeluting stent is still controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of short term DAPT (≤ 3 months) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy and standard DAPT (12 months) after PCI.Method:
Relevant studies published in Medline, Embase, CoChrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) until November 2019. Studies were screened by selection criteria then quality assessed through the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. Data were extracted from the included studies and statistically analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results:
Five RCTs (n=18,357) were included. Compared with standard DAPT, the short term DAPT was associated with a significant decrease in the major bleeding [odds ratio (OR)=0.43, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)0.32-0.58, P <0.00001] and any bleeding [OR=0.56, 95%CI0.47-0.66, P<0.00001]. There were no significant differences in all-cause death [OR=0.91, 95%CI0.71-1.16, P =0.45], major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event [OR=1.01, 95%CI0.87-1.17, P =0.91] and stent thrombosis [OR=0.97, 95%CI0.61-1.54, P =0.91] between with the short term DAPT group and the standard DAPT group.Conclusions:
Short term DAPT followed by P2Y12 monotherapy could reduce the risk of bleeding without increasing the incidence of ischemic events after PCI with implantation of second-generation DES compared with standard DAPT. Therefore, short term DAPT may be a promising strategy to balance ischemic events and bleeding complications in patients after PCI.
