In this study we investigated the efficacy and safety of very short duration (1-month) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by prasugrel monotherapy. In particular, we compared intrastent conditions using optical coherence tomography (OCT) after second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation between standard-duration and 1-month DAPT followed by prasugrel monotherapy. Between May 2015 and February 2018, 120 consecutive patients who underwent elective Resolute zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation were enrolled and divided into those receiving standard-duration or 1-month (1M) DAPT followed by prasugrel monotherapy; 47 patients (n=55 stents) and 46 patients (n=54 stents) in the standard and 1M groups, respectively, completed the protocol.
