Modes of DAPT Cessation Discontinuation patients had discontinued DAPT as per recommendation of their physician who felt the patient no longer needed therapy Interruption patients had interrupted DAPT use on a voluntary basis and as guided by a physician due to (e.g. surgery) DAPT was then reinstituted within 14 days Disruption patients had disrupted DAPT use due to bleeding or non-compliance.

Take Home Message Trials of Bifurcation Lesions and DAPT duration/Interruption Trials of large bifurcation lesion interventions have suggested favorable outcomes with 2S vs. 1S strategy without higher ST. Dedicated TRYTON bifurcation (BMS) stent was not superior to provisional stent approach Trials of DAPT duration post DES support a shorter (3-6M) vs. 1+ year with lower bleeding and similar MACE. Hence 6M (?3M) DAPT duration should be routine post DES. Also physician directed DAPT interruption post DES is not associated with adverse outcomes

Question # 1 Which of the following trial compared 6M vs. 24M of DAPT duration: PARIS Study PRODIGY Trial REAL LATE Trial OPTIMIZE Trial RESET Trial

Question # 2 TRYTON bifurcation trial showed the following superior results over provisional stent strategy : Lower TVR Lower MI Lower SBr %DS Lower stent thrombosis Higher CVA

Question # 3 Sidebranch occlusion post PCI is associated with the following except : A. Higher mortality B. Higher MI C. Higher Stent thrombosis D. Lower TVR E. Higher MACE

Question # 1 Which of the following trial compared 6M vs. 24M of DAPT duration: PARIS Study PRODIGY Trial REAL LATE Trial OPTIMIZE Trial RESET Trial The correct answer is B as other trials have either 3M or 1Y DAPT duration

Question # 2 TRYTON bifurcation trial showed the following superior results over provisional stent strategy : Lower TVR Lower MI Lower SBr %DS Lower stent thrombosis Higher CVA The correct answer is C as there was lower SBr % DS in the TRYTON stent arm vs. provisional stent arm Leon M, TCT 2013

Question # 3 Sidebranch occlusion post PCI is associated with the following except : A. Higher mortality B. Higher MI C. Higher Stent thrombosis D. Lower TVR E. Higher MACE The correct answer is D as SBr occlusion is associated with higher TVR along with higher MACE and its other components Hahn et al., JACC 2013;62:1654
