Randomized Controlled TrialExtended Duration Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Stenting Among Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Subanalysis of the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Study.
This study sought to determine whether patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) experience different reductions in ischemic event and increases in bleeding events with extended duration dual antiplatelet therapy versus those without PAD. ⋯ Among patients undergoing coronary stenting, those with PAD have more ischemic and bleeding events versus those without PAD. Extended duration dual antiplatelet therapy is associated with consistent ischemic benefit and bleeding harm among patients with and without PAD.
