BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: First generation DES (Drug Eluting Stents) have significantly reduced the restenosis rates compared to the BMS (Bare Metal Stents) but have raised concerns regarding higher rates and ongoing propensity for stent thrombosis. Based on these concerns current guidelines advocate dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, aspirin plus P2Y12 inhibitor) to be continued for up to 1 year after DES implantation. Large registries analyzing recent data now challenge these recommendations and suggest no increase in mortality or (late) stent thrombosis when DAPT is discontinued after 6 months.
