High Bleeding Risk Patients (HBR)

• Mostly excluded from device and APT trials • Never specifically studied• Current guideline recommendations:

¡ BMS + one month DAPT

¡ DES + “shortened” DAPT

ConclusionsüAt two years, the use of a BA9-­DCS remained both significantly safer and more effective than a control BMS in HBR patients treated with a one-­month only DAPT course

üNo subgroup was identified for which use of a BMS was superior to a DCS

üHBR patients suffer from a persistently high incidence of bleeding and thrombotic events, both of which are associated with a high and similar mortality over a one year period

ü Identification of predictors of both the composite primary safety event and major bleeding may help design future trials of DAPT duration for HBR patients
