Ticagrelor alone versus dual antiplatelet therapy from 1 month after drug-eluting coronary stenting

10 Nov 2019

One of the most discussed limitations of GLOBAL-LEADER is the lack of event adjudication so that the rate of MI, bleeding or stent thrombosis between the two groups were unknown. In this study, events were adjudicated in those patients from the 20 top-enrolling participating sites.

Three-year outcomes of the DKCRUSH-V trial comparing DK crush with provisional stenting for left main bifurcation lesions

15 Oct 2019

DKCRUSH-V showed lower rates of target lesion failure at one year in the DKCRUSH arm, mainly driven by increased rates of target vessel MI. In this paper, the authors report the extended follow-up to three years.

Ticagrelor with or without aspirin in high-risk patients after PCI

07 Oct 2019

The TWILIGHT trial was designed to test the hypothesis that in patients undergoing PCI who are at high risk for ischemic or hemorrhagic complications and who have completed a 3-month course of DAPT with ticagrelor plus aspirin, continued treatment with ticagrelor monotherapy would be superior to ticagrelor...
