Optimal Anticoagulation—does it exist? Bleeding Thrombosis intensity x duration
Atrial Fibrillation Most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia Currently affects nearly 2.3 million Americans, or 1% of US population Prevalence expected to increase 2.5x by 2050 Lifetime risk of developing AF: 1 in 4 for men and women ≥ 40 years of age Among ACS-PCI patients, ~5% have AF AF best managed with OAC among those needing antithrombotic therapy

Angiolillo et al. Circ Cardiovasc Intv 2016 Algorithm for AF-PCI Considerations Washout OAC INR ≤ 2.0 for radial INR ≤ 1.5 for femoral Withhold NOAC 24 hours (longer if SRI) Avoid polypharmacy anticoagulation (GPI) Low-dose ASA Lower INR target Shortened-course DAPT Lifelong OAC (± SAPT) Angiolillo et al. Circ Cardiovasc Intv 2016
Angiolillo et al. Circ Cardiovasc Intv 2016 Antithrombotic Management Recommended Algorithm Discontinuation of one antiplatelet agent should be considered 1-3 months after PCI, this may occur sooner (including immediately after PCI) or later (but not beyond 6 months) according to the ischemic/thrombotic and bleeding risk profiles of the patient. Angiolillo et al. Circ Cardiovasc Intv 2016
Angiolillo et al. Circ Cardiovasc Intv 2016 Algorithm for AF-PCI Considerations More frequent follow-up than AF alone or ACS alone or PCI alone Specific guidance for patient and PCP Choice, extent, duration of antithrombotic therapy may change for patient or guidelines Throughout post-PCI course need to reconsider antiplatelet risk-benefit Angiolillo et al. Circ Cardiovasc Intv 2016
Summary ~5% of ACS patients have pre-existing or soon-to- come AF Triple therapy is associated with a 40% increased risk of clinically significant bleeding Small RCT suggest Dual Therapy with OAC and SAPT (clopidogrel) at least as effective and safer For longer-term care, monotherapy vs “safer” dual Nanoparticle coated stent trial ongoing Many ongoing or planned RCT to better understand polypharmacy best practices and how NOACs and newer P2Y12 agents fit in
