Algorithm for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. ACS = acute coronary syndrome; BMS = bare-metal stent; BRS = bioresorbable vascular scaffold; CABG = coronary artery bypass graft surgery; DCB = drug-coated balloon; DES: drug-eluting stent; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; Stable CAD = stable coronary artery disease.
High bleeding risk is considered as an increased risk of spontaneous bleeding during DAPT (e.g. PRECISE-DAPT score ≥25).
Colour-coding refers to the ESC Classes of Recommendations (green = Class I; yellow = IIa; orange = Class IIb).
Treatments presented within the same line are sorted in alphabetic order, no preferential recommendation unless clearly stated otherwise.
1: After PCI with DCB 6 months. DAPT should be considered (Class IIa B).
2: If patient presents with Stable CAD or, in case of ACS, is not eligible for a treatment with prasugrel or ticagrelor.
3: If patient is not eligible for a treatment with prasugrel or ticagrelor.
4: If patient is not eligible for a treatment with ticagrelor.
