Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are regarded as having a higher long-term risk of cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with patients with the chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Therefore, the recommended duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after PCI was longer in patients with ACS than in patients with CCS.
A recent study suggests that clopidogrel monotherapy after 1 to 2 months of DAPT is no better than standard 12 months of DAPT among ACS patients with successful PCI. The study findings were published in the JAMA Cardiology today (March 02, 2022).
