ABSTRACT: Background: Long-term oral anticoagulants (OAC) increases bleeding risk after the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with Aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitors. We hypothesize that dual anti-thrombotic therapy (DATT) reduces bleeding without increased cardiovascular events. Objectives: DATT does not increase adverse cardiovascular events compared to triple anti-thrombotic therapy (TATT). Method: We searched MEDLINE, PUBMED, Google Scholar, Cochrane and EMBASE from inception to 6 April 2019 for randomized control trials (RCTs) comparing DATT to TATT after PCI. Results: We identified 641 citations (411 after excluding duplicates). Four RCTs with 5,317 patients (3,039 on DATT vs 2,278 on TATT) were included. DATT arm showed significantly reduced [total bleeding, 731 vs. 784, odds ratio [OR] = 0.51, Confidence Interval [CI] = 0.39-0.67, p < 0.00001, I2 = 71% (I2 = 0% without WOEST study)], [TIIMI major bleeding 60 vs. 80, OR = 0.56, CI = 0.4-0.79, p = 0.0009, I2 = 0%], and [TIIMI minor bleeding, 70 vs 126, OR = 0.43, CI = 0.32-0.59, p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%]. There was no difference in subsequent strokes, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and mortality. A trend towards decreased non-cardiac deaths with DATT was observed, 14 vs 26, OR = 0.55, CI = 0.27-1.10, p = 0.09, I2 = 6%. Conclusions: DATT is associated with significantly reduced bleeding and a trend towards reduced non-cardiac death with no difference in adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
