Efficacy and safety of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after complex PCI: a collaborative systematic review and meta-analysis

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc PharmacotherPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

As compared with a standard DAPT, a 1-3-month DAPT regimen followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy reduced bleeding complications after C-PCI without increasing the risk of ischaemic events.
