P2Y12 Inhibitors Monotherapy in Patients Undergoing Complex vs Non-Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials

Am Heart JPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials

Authors' conclusion

Patients undergoing complex PCI may derive more benefit and less harm from P2Y12i monotherapy after early aspirin withdrawal compared with standard DAPT.

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

P2Y12i monotherapy vs Standard DAPTHazard ratio (95% CI)P value
Complex PCI
0.77(0.60–0.99)
P = 0.042
Noncomplex PCI
1.09(0.90–1.30)
P = 0.382

Safety

Major bleeding, by PCI complexity

Significantly reduced by P2Y12i monotherapy, consistent in complex and noncomplex PCI
  • P-interaction = 0.699
