Why the study?
Does long-term ticagrelor monotherapy after a short course of DAPT improve outcomes in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus following PCI?
Does long-term ticagrelor monotherapy after a short course of DAPT improve outcomes in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus following PCI?
Long-term ticagrelor monotherapy following a short course of DAPT may represent a beneficial evolution in antiplatelet therapy for patients with T2DM undergoing PCI.
Supports ticagrelor monotherapy after short DAPT in T2DM post-PCI; extends de-escalation evidence to this high-risk group.
Long-term ticagrelor monotherapy after a short course of DAPT use showed better results in patients with T2DM following PCI. Therefore, ticagrelor monotherapy after a short course of DAPT use could be considered an evolution in antiplatelet therapy of this decade for the treatment of patients with T2DM after PCI. However, newer studies with a larger population size and cost-effectiveness are factors that should further be considered.
