Percutaneous coronary intervention with a drug eluting stent requires administration of dual anti platelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent thrombotic complications. Optimal duration of this therapy remains unclear especially for patients with high bleeding risk. Since the risk of stent thrombosis is highest immediately following stent implantation, longer term DAPT therapy may confer additional risk of harm rather than benefit for this subset of patients. Hence, short duration DAPT therapy may be a reasonable alternative. Multiple studies have demonstrated their noninferiority compared to traditional duration of DAPT in preventing thrombotic complications following stent implantation while at the same time keeping bleeding risk at a minimum. Here, we discuss short duration DAPT as a treatment option and summarize the major clinical trials that were conducted recently demonstrating the results of short duration DAPT.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have high rates of gastrointestinal bleeding due to several risk factors including platelet dysfunction, comorbid illness, and use of antiplatelet medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce gastrointestinal bleeding and are recommended for high-risk patients such as those prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Whether inappropriate duration of DAPT therapy and/or lack of appropriate PPI use contribute to the known elevated risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in hemodialysis patients is not known.

Background: The optimal duration and net clinical benefit of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have not been elucidated in real-world situations.
Methods: Using nationwide claims data from 2013 to 2021, we selected patients who underwent TAVR and categorized them into two groups: short- and long-term (≤ 3 and > 3 months, respectively) DAPT group. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline characteristics.

Background: Sex may impact clinical outcomes in patients with stroke treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). We aimed to investigate the sex differences in the short-term outcomes of DAPT within a real-world population of patients with noncardioembolic mild-to-moderate ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack.
Methods: We performed a propensity score-matched analysis from a prospective multicentric cohort study (READAPT [Real-Life Study on Short-Term Dual Antiplatelet Treatment in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack]) by including patients with noncardioembolic mild-to-moderate stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 0-10) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration of transient ischemic attack, presence of diabetes [ABCD] ≥4) who initiated DAPT within 48 hours of symptom onset.

Article Synopsis
- In April 2020, new guidelines by the Japanese Circulation Society recommended shorter dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for high bleeding risk patients, prompting a study in June 2020 involving 1,136 patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- The study found that 55.2% of patients received planned short DAPT (less than 3 months), resulting in a significantly shorter average DAPT duration compared to those on standard therapy, but similar rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and bleeding complications across both groups.
- Key factors predicting adverse events included age 75 or older, certain health conditions like severe chronic kidney disease, and low hemoglobin levels, indicating that despite the shorter therapy,
