Mortality Following Cardiovascular and Bleeding Events Occurring Beyond 1 Year After Coronary Stenting: A Secondary Analysis of the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Early cardiovascular and bleeding events after coronary stenting are associated with high risk of morbidity and mortality.

Objective

To assess the prognosis of cardiovascular and bleeding events occurring beyond 1 year after coronary stenting.

Design, setting, and participants

This secondary analysis is derived from data from the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) Study, a multicenter trial involving 220 US and international clinical sites from 11 countries. The study dates were August 2009 to May 2014. Individuals who underwent coronary stenting and completed 12 months of thienopyridine plus aspirin therapy without ischemic or bleeding events remained on an aspirin regimen and were randomized to continued thienopyridine therapy vs placebo for 18 additional m
