Risk Stratification after an Acute Coronary Syndrome: Significance of Antithrombotic Therapy.

The impact of the de-escalation strategy of antiplatelet therapy (APT) on the life expectancy after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) requires an assessment in real clinical practice. Into the Russian multicentral observational trial (ORACLE II ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04068909), 1803 patients with ACS and PCI indications were enrolled.
