#24: Patient selection and antiplatelet therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the best anticoagulants for patients with atrial fibrillation

In this episode of Medmastery's Cardiology Digest, we dive into three groundbreaking studies that are set to reshape our understanding and approach to cardiology.

STUDY #1: First, we discuss a landmark piece of research that sheds new light on the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with significant coronary artery disease who need a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This study addresses important questions about patient selection for this intervention.

Lønborg, J, Jabbari, R, Sabbah, M, et al. 2024. PCI in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic-valve implantation. N Engl J Med. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2401513)

STUDY #2: Next, we examine an insightful meta-analysis that evaluates patient-level data to inform the future of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention. Discover the factors influencing the transition to ticagrelor monotherapy post-PCI and why this could change current guideline recommendations.

Valgimigli, M, Hong, S, Gragnano, F, et al. 2024. De-escalation to ticagrelor monotherapy versus 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with and without acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review and individual patient-level meta-analysis of randomized trials. Lancet. 10456: 937–948. (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(24)01616-7)

STUDY #3: Lastly, we take a closer look at the EPIC-CAD study, which aligns with previous findings from the AFIRE trial. Learn why anticoagulant monotherapy is now being considered for the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation who require anticoagulation and have stable coronary artery disease, and what this means for your clinical practice.

Cho, MS, Kang, D-Y, Ahn, J-M, et al. 2024. Edoxaban antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation and stable coronary artery disease. N Engl J Med. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2407362)
