Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Performed With or Without Preprocedural Dual Antiplatelet Therapy

Abstract

Approximately one-third of the patients who underwent PCI did not receive preprocedural DAPT despite guideline recommendations. Our results indicate that patients undergoing PCI with DAPT have a lower risk of postprocedural cardiac events without any increased bleeding risk. Further studies are needed to implement the use of DAPT in real-world PCI.
