Short-Term DAPT After Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) With Third-Generation DES: A Post Hoc Analysis of the HOST-IDEA Trial

Circ Cardiovasc IntervPublished post hoc analysis of the HOST-IDEA randomized trial

Authors' conclusion

In patients undergoing complex PCI with a third-generation drug-eluting stent, a 3- to 6-month duration of DAPT was associated with a reduced risk of bleeding without an increased risk of ischemic events compared with 12-month DAPT.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing PCI with third-generation drug-eluting stents, analysed by complex vs noncomplex PCI (complex: ≥3 stents implanted, ≥3 lesions treated, bifurcation PCI with 2-stenting, total stent length ≥60 mm, left main PCI, or heavy calcification)624 underwent complex PCI · complex PCI 624
Participants
1,992 patients
Comparison
3 to 6 months of DAPT over 12 months after complex PCI

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

  • Cardiac death
