Managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with a recent history of gastrointestinal bleeding presents a unique and challenging clinical dilemma, necessitating a careful balance between minimizing ischemic risk and avoiding potentially life-threatening rebleeding. Standard treatment for ACS typically involves dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent recurrent thrombotic events. However, in patients with recent gastrointestinal hemorrhage or significant anemia, these therapies may substantially increase the risk of life-threatening bleeding, complicating the decision-making process and often leading to conservative management strategies.
