Article Synopsis
  • The analysis evaluated the impact of 1-month versus 3-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in older patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), focusing on those with high bleeding risk.
  • In a study of 3,364 patients, they found similar rates of all-cause death or myocardial infarction for both therapy durations, regardless of whether patients were ≥75 years or <75 years old.
  • However, patients aged ≥75 experienced significantly less bleeding with the 1-month DAPT compared to the 3-month treatment, suggesting a clearer benefit in reducing bleeding risk without increasing heart-related complications.
