was associated with a lower cumulative incidence of MI (2.1% vs. 4.1% placebo; HR [95% CI], 0.47 [0.37e0.61]; P < .001) including MI not related to ST (1.8% v s. 2.9% placebo; P < .001), which accounted for 55% of the MI treatment benet. Rates of death due to cardiac or v ascular causes as well as stroke were similar between randomized DES patients. However, all-cause death was numerically increased in DES patients r eceiving continued thienopyr­idine (2.0% vs. 1.5% placebo; P ¼ .05), due to a relative increase in death from noncardiovascular causes (1 .0% vs.
0.5%; P ¼ .002) mostly related to cancer (n ¼ 31 vs. n ¼ 14; P ¼ .02) or bleeding due to fatal trauma (n ¼ 7vs.n ¼ 2; P ¼ .07). A blinded review of cancer-related deaths identified a between-group imbalance in the number of patients who underwent randomization and in whom cancer had been diagnosed before treatment (n ¼ 8vs.n ¼ 1 placebo). When these patients were excluded in post hoc sensitivity analysis, differences in mortality were no longer signicant. Further, a separate meta-analysis of 14 RCCTs that randomly assigned 69,644 patients (w139,000 patient years of follow-up) to different durations of antiplatelet therapy demonstrated no differences in mortality (all-cause, cardiovascular, or n onc ar di ovas cu lar) b etw een aspirin alone or short-duration (6 months) DAPT compared with longer-duration treatment [63]. Indeed, meta-regression analysis showed no effect of DAPT duration on hazard for all-cause, cardio­vascular, or noncardiovascular mortality across trials. Finally, among DES randomi zed patients, continued thienopyr­idine was associated with increased rates of moderate/severe bleed ing (2.5%vs.1.6%placebo;HR[95%CI]1.61 [1.61e2.16]; P ¼ .001), although both severe and fatal bleeding were uncommon and not different between groups (Fig. 16.8).
Concern has been expressed that three of the four DESs utilized in the DAPT trial are no longer commercially available for use and no longer represent state-of-the-arttechnology. In this regard, it is noteworthy that consistency in treatment effect benet for 30 versus 12 months of DAPT was observed across all four stent types for the clinical end points of ST (P interaction .76) and MI (P interaction .11). Subgroup analysis of the 4703 randomized patients treated with EES demonstrated reductions in ST (HR [95% CI] ¼ 0.38 [0.15, 0.97]; P ¼ .04) and MI (0.63 [0.44, 0.91];
P ¼ .01) in favor of 30 versus 12 months of DAPT [64]. Nevertheless, meta-analysis of trials that included second-generation EES and the Resolute ZES, as well as older 1GDESs, clearly suggests that the newer platforms with thinner struts and more biocompatible/inert polymers derive less benet with respect to ST reduction from longer (12 months) versus shorter (3e6 months) duration DAPT, while still incurring similar bleeding risk hazard [65]. These data have prompted a shift in clinical practice guideline recommendations for SIHD patients undergoing PCI with these devices to shorter durations (6 months in the US ACC/AHA guidelines, 3 months in the European Society of Cardiology guidelines) of dual anti­platelet treatment [66,67].

Analysis of BMS-treated patients who were randomized to continued thienopyridine (vs. placebo) in the DAPT trial demonstrated a consistent treatment effect benet for reduction in ST (HR [95% CI] 0.49 [0.15, 1.65] vs. 0.29 [0.17, 0.48] DES; P interaction .42) as well as an increase in moderate/severe bleeding (2.0% vs. 0.9% placebo; P ¼ .07) [68]. Importantly, no differences in the incidence of death (all-cause, cardiovascular, or noncardiovascular) were observed between randomized groups of BMS-treated patients. In addition, the prospective comparison of propensity-matched patients (matched perfectly for STEMI and with standardized variances of 10% for 55 total clinical and angiographic lesion-related variables) treated with either DES or BMS demonstrated an increased risk for ST from 0 to 33 months following PCI with BMS [69] (Fig. 16.9), with the greatest portion of risk difference evident within the rst year following stent deployment. Similarly, MACCE was numerically less following DES (vs. BMS) from 0 to 33 months (11.4% vs.
13.2%; P ¼ .053), especially during the rst year (5.1% vs. 6.8%; P ¼ .01) following stent deployment. The integrity of the propensity match is supported by the observation of similar rates of MI not related to ST (6.0% vs. 6.5%), stroke (1.8% vs. 2.1%), and moderate/severe bleeding (4.0% vs. 3.7%) between DES- and BMS-matched patients, respectively [69].
Finally, multiple large-scale network meta-analyses of RCCT evaluating late and very late ST by stent type have demonstrated a consistent w60% reduction in denite/probable ST through 2-year follow-up after 2GDES (EES) compared with BMS [8,34,35,70]. This marked and consistent reduction in ST associated with EES has been ascribed to thromboresistance of the permanent uorocopolymer (PVDF) coating and/or mitigation of the inammatory response to endoluminal stent injury by the antiinammatory/antiproliferative drug (everolimus).
FACTORS INFLUENCING OPTIMAL DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY DURATION
Recent data suggest that multiple factors including PCI procedural complexity and procedure optimization (use of intravascular imaging, routine high-pressure postdilation), as well patient/lesion characteristics, may inuence the efcacy and safety of DAPT duration. A meta-analysis of RCCTs comparing longer (12 months) with shorter (3e6 months) duration of dual therapy evaluated the relative risk/benet of therapy by procedural complexity as assessed by prespecied complexity measures. Incremental benet (vs. risk) was observed for longer-duration therapy with increasing procedural complexity [71]. Complex coronary risk factors included three or more diseased vessels, three or more stents, three or more lesions, bifurcation lesion requiring at least two stents, 60 mm of total stents used, and a chronic total occlusion.

addition, the IVUS-XPL RCCT evaluated treatment durations of 6 versus 12 months following long EES implantation (median stent length 45 mm), using a 2 2 factorial study design involving randomization to IVUS-imaging-assisted PCI (vs. angiography guidance alone) followed by randomization to 6 versus 12 months of DAPT [72,73]. The imp act of each randomization on primary end-point events (composite occurrence of cardiac death, MI, stroke, TIMI [thrombolysis in myocardial infarction] major bleed) was assessed. Following DAPT disconti nuation at 6 months, a non-statistically signicant increase in primary end-point events was observed (HR [95% CI] 2.00 [0.50e7.98]; log rank P ¼ .319), suggesting a lack of difference in the underpowered comparison of treatment duration. However, in the powered ran­domized comparison of IVUS optimization, a signicant treatment benet(P interaction .018) was observed favoring shorter-duration (6 months) therapy following IVUS optimization and longer therapy (12 months) without IVUS. Indeed, meta-analyses of RCCTs and observational data suggest that imaging optimization of PCI (IVUS or OCT) can signicantly improve clinical outcomes following coronary stent implantation [74,75]. The benet of procedural optimization for reducing ST risk is inferred by very low (1.0%) cumulative rates of denite ST through 5-year follow-up in the TWENTE RCCT, which compared EES with ZES and used routine high-pressure postdilation after stenting in 82% of all PCI [47].
A history of MI predicts ischemic risk following stenting. In the DAPT trial, patients with MI history (either within 72 h of PCI or longer) had an increased risk of death, MI, or ST following enrollment during the rst 12 months on open-label dual therapy, as well as durin g the subsequent 18 months following randomization to either placebo or continued thienopyridine [76]. This subgroup demonstrated a consistent risk/benet of longer duration therapy (30 vs. 12 months) that was clearly magnied by application of a risk score to provide more individualized therapy prescription (see below). Furthermore, underpowered subgroup analyses and/or observational data have suggested a differential benet for reduction in ischemic events following longer (vs. shorter)-duration DAPT after stenting for in-stent restenosis [77], for sapheno us vein graft target stenosis [78], or in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) [79].
RISK-PREDICTIVE MODELS
The optimal duration of DAPT with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor inhibitor after PCI with stents is the subject of debate. The DAPT trial demonstrated that continued therapy beyond 1 year decreases ST and MI but increases bleeding among patients who had completed 1 year of therapy without having experienced either a major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular ischemic event or a moderate/severe bleeding event and who had demonstrated compliance with therapy. Continuing DAPT involves careful assessment of the balance between bleeding and ischemic risk for the individual patient. To date, most ischemia and bleeding risk algorithms have focused on in-hospital events or short-term risk, and factors inuencing late bleeding or ischemic hazard are less well dened. Further, risk factors related to ischemia or bleeding following PCI overlap substantially and their respective weights may vary over time. Recently several risk-predictive models have been developed and decision tools proposed to inform more risk-appropriate DAPT duration for individual patients.
Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Risk Score
A clinical prediction score based on ischemic and bleeding risk factors was developed from the DAPT trial (the ran­domized cohort) to identify patients with greater than expected benet (vs. harm) from continuation of DAPT beyond 1 year [80]. Variables in the predictive score included patient and procedural characteristics associated with either ischemic or bleeding events after PCI. For example, prior PCI, MI at presentation, current smoking, and diabetes mellitus are associated with ST during the year after PCI, while advanced age, renal disease, and symptomatic PAD have been associated with in-hospital or 30-day bleeding events. In the DAPT trial, PAD, renal insufciency, and hypertension were predictive of both ischemic and bleeding events and did not help to identify discordant bleeding and ischemic risk. A simplied integer risk score was developed using only those variables that uniquely predicted either bleeding risk or ischemic benet(Fig. 16.10) among the 11,648 patients (both BMS and DES) randomized to either continued thieno- pyridine or placebo at 12 months (derivation cohort) and was validated externally among 8136 patients enrolled in the PROTECT trial. The score (median 2; range 2 to 10) assigned a weighted point score for each specic variable with the sum total score of variables representing the score assigned to an individual patient. For patients randomized in the DAPT trial with a predictive score 2 (high-score group; 50.8%), continued thienopyridine was associated with an absolute risk reduction in MI/ST that was 8.2 times greater than the absolute risk increase in moderate/severe bleeding. Conversely, among patients with scores <2 (low-score group; 49.2%), continued thienopyridine was associated with an absolute in­crease in bleeding risk of 2.4 times greater than the absolute reduction in MI/ST (Fig. 16.11 A and B). Thus, the DAPT score was able to identify patients with greater ischemic benet (DAPT score 2) or greater bleeding risk (DAPT

score <2). Higher DAPT scores indicated greater MI/ST reduction (P interaction <.001) and lower DAPT scores indicated greater bleeding risk increase (P interaction .02) with continued thienopyridine therapy. Further application of the risk score to important subgroups appears to improve risk-appropriate prescription of DAPT duration. For example, patients with a history of MI have established ischemic risk. Nevertheless, a portion of these patients will experience moderate/ severe bleeding during prolonged DAPT. Addition of the DAPT risk score to the clinical measure of prior MI status resulted in more appropriate risk reclassication of w1/3 of patients either with or without prior MI [76] (Fig. 16.12). The clinical utility of the DAPT score to improve decision-making over single subgroup classication by MI status alone is evident in terms of the number needed to treat to benet or harm (NNTB, NNTH). The NNTB (avoid MI/ST) in the no-MI population was reduced from 84 to 40 and the NNTH resulting in bleeding among patients with any MI was increased from 106 to 226 when patients with a high DAPT score were selected. Importantly, the DAPT score allowed more rened decision-making and identied which patients with a history of MI have a risk of bleeding that outweighed any ischemic benet to be gained from longer-duration therapy. Conversely, among patients with no MI history, a high DAPT score predicted ischemic risk reduction that outweighed bleeding risk. Thus, the DA PT score more accurately classied the benet/risk relationship of prolonged (>12 months) thienopyridine therapy for individual patients beyond what could be attributed to MI history status alone.
Important potential limitations inherent to the DAPT score analyses include the fact that patients taking oral antico­agulants were excluded from trial enrollment, while those who experienced either a bleeding or an ischemic event during the year of DAPT following enrollment, as well as those with therapy noncompliance, were not included in the analysis. Thus, patients used to derive the clinical prediction score may not be fully representative of those seen in clinical practice. Further, although the DAPT score was derived from the global DAPT study population, treatment effects within subgroups are underpowered.

Paris Risk Score
Using data from 4190 patients treated with DES enrolled into the Patterns of Non- adherence to Antiplatelet Regimen in Stented Patients (Paris) Regist ry between July 2009 and December 2010, separate risk scores were developed to predict coronary thrombotic events (ST or MI) as well as major bleeding (BARC [Bleeding Academic Research Consortium] type 3 or 5). Variables predictive of thrombotic or bleeding risk are shown in Table 4 [81]. Each variable received a weighted point score with the sum (total) score of all variables present reecting the ischemic or bleeding risk of the indi vidual patient. The hypothetical net benet/harm of prolonged DAPT in an individual patient (Fig. 16.13) is a function of the risk difference (thrombotic vs. bleeding risk integer scores). Several potential limitations of the Paris risk score include the observational design that precludes causal inference and the facts that:
1. Almost all patients were treated with clopidogrel (limiting generalizability to more potent P2Y12 inhibitors).
2. DAPT duration was not randomized and DAPT cessation was at the discretion of the treating physician.
3. Information on specic covariates such as left-ventricular function and platelet reactivity were not collected.
PRECISEeDAPT Score
Multivariable regression analyses of both RCCT and observational studies identied specic variables associated with bleeding risk during prolonged DAPT (baseline hemoglobin, age, white blood cell count, creatinine clearance, history of prior bleeding). Each variable is assigned a point score and the sum score of variables present represents the individual patients bleeding risk, which can be converted to estimated 12-month risks of clinically signicant or major bleeding using a mobile app/Web calculator [82]. This approach is limited by lack of consideration for concomitant ischemic risk as well as specic variables (creatinine clearance) predictive of both bleeding and ischemic risk.

DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY INTERRUPTION/DISCONTINUATION
Observational data suggest that the greatest risk of ST is observed in patients who interrupt or discontinue DAPT within 30 days of stenting, regardless of stent type (BMS or DES) [2,83]. Further, the risk of late and very late ST appears greatest in patients who stop both aspirin and thienopyridine, or in those who discontinue aspirin and have previously discontinued thienopyridine therapy [84]. In addition, the time course for ST occurrence appears to be more abrupt when both aspirin and thienopyridine are discontinued simultaneously.
Atherothrombotic risk associated with P2Y12 receptor discontinuation appears to vary as a function of both the clinical syndrome prompting stent deployment (ACS vs. SIHD) and the time duration from stent deployment, with the majority of

very late events being not attributable to the stented segment [85]. Patients stented for an ACS/MI indication and those with a history of MI have an increased risk for ST regardless of stent type, as well as an increased incidence of ischemic events (death, MI, stroke) despite DAPT during the rst year after PCI [76]. Pooled patient-level observational data following discontinuation of thienopyridine therapy at 3 months after 2GDES deployment suggest no incremental ST risk compared with longer-duration therapy [86]. In the DAPT trial, protocol-driven discontinuation of thienopyridine therapy occurred in w5000 patients at 12 months and in an additional w5000 patients at 30 months post-PCI, with both groups followed for additional 3-month observation periods. Although thienopyridine discontinuation was associated with increased risk for both MI and ST, w75% of MIs were not related to ST during both observational periods. The monthly cumulative risk of MI following thienopyridine discontinuation at 12 months remains statistically signicant even after excluding TAXUS PES-treated patients from analysis [87] (Fig. 16.14). This incremental MI hazard associated with thienopyridine discon­tinuation appears to wane over time (15e33 months) after stenting and was not statistically signicant by 30 months. Finally, the risk of DAPT discontinuation was not predicted by DAPT risk score (<2 vs. 2) as the monthly cumulative risk of MI was reduced to a similar degree by continued thienopyridine beyond 12 months (vs. placebo) regardless of DAPT score group.
STOPPING DUAL ANTIPLATELET THERAPY FOR NONCARDIAC SURGERY
Observational data suggest that: (1) stent type (BMS or DES), (2) time from stent deployment to DAPT discontinuation for surgery, and (3) acuity of the clinical syndrome prompting stent deployment inuence the likelihood of death and/or ischemic cardiac events following noncardiac surgery. Those patients who had stent deployment for an ACS and who underwent noncardiac surgery within 42 days of stent deployment had the greatest risk of adverse events, regardless of stent type (DES or BMS) [88]. Furthermore, approximately 80% of ST occurred within 10 days of performance of the
