Objective: Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) are frequently prescribed after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) placement. However, studies that evaluate the optimal PPI when used as primary prevention in patients without a history of peptic ulcer disease or upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), particularly in the context of DAPT involving prasugrel, are lacking. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of PPI use in preventing UGIB in this patient population.

P2X7 is a purinergic receptor physiologically activated by extracellular ATP. Its activation induces proinflammatory responses, including cytokine release, reactive oxygen species formation, and cell death. Previous in vivo experimental models demonstrated that P2X7 blockade has anti-inflammatory effects; however, there are no drugs used in clinical therapy that act on the P2X7 receptor.

Importance: In the US, peptic ulcer disease affects 1% of the population and approximately 54 000 patients are admitted to the hospital annually for bleeding peptic ulcers.
Observations: Approximately 10% of patients presenting with upper abdominal pain in a primary care setting have a peptic ulcer as the cause of their symptoms. The principal causes of peptic ulcer disease are Helicobacter pylori infection, which affects approximately 42% of patients with peptic ulcer disease, and aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, which are etiologic factors in approximately 36% of people with peptic ulcer disease.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the pharmacokinetics, benefits, and risks of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in cirrhotic patients, focusing on the appropriateness of their use and potential adverse effects.
Recent Findings: Recent studies highlight significant pharmacokinetic alterations in PPIs among cirrhotic patients, with marked increases in lansoprazole and pantoprazole exposure and relatively stable levels of esomeprazole. While effective for managing acid-related disorders and post-band ulcer rebleeding, evidence supporting PPI use for portal hypertension-related bleeding is lacking.
