Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with thienopyridine and aspirin is the standard care for the prevention of stent thrombosis. However, the optimal duration and effect of the duration of DAPT on intra-stent thrombus (IS-Th) formation are unknown. The NIPPON study (Nobori Dual Antiplatelet Therapy as Appropriate Duration) was an open label, randomized multicenter, assessor-blinded, trial designed to demonstrate the non-inferiority of shorter (6-month) DAPT to prolonged (18-month) DAPT, after biolimus A9 eluting stent implantation in 3773 patients at 130 sites in Japan. Among them, 101 patients were randomly allocated for an optical coherence tomography (OCT) sub-study to assess the difference of local IS-Th formation between the two groups. In addition to standard OCT parameters, the number of IS-Th formed was counted in each target stent at 8 months. Baseline patient characteristics were not different between the 6- and 18-month groups. IS-Th was detected in 9.8% of the cases and the presence of IS-Th was not significantly different between the two groups (10.9% in 6-month vs. 9.1% in 12-month, P = 0.76). Furthermore, the number of IS-Th formed was not significantly different between the two groups. This OCT sub-study was in lin...Continue Reading
