Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEfficacy and Safety of Ticagrelor Monotherapy in Patients Undergoing Multivessel PCI.
Data on optimal antiplatelet treatment regimens in patients who undergo multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are sparse. ⋯ Long-term ticagrelor monotherapy following 1-month DAPT can favorably balance ischemic and bleeding risks in patients with multivessel PCI. These findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating and need to be replicated in future dedicated randomized trials.
