2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Post-procedural Antiplatelet Therapy (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
“1. After PCI, use of aspirin should be continued indefinitely.[2][3][4][5](Level of Evidence: A)”
“2. The duration of P2Y12 inhibitor therapy after stent implantation should generally be as follows:
a. In patients receiving a stent (bare metal stent (BMS) or drug eluting stent (DES)) during PCI for ACS, P2Y12 inhibitor therapy should be given for at least 12 months. Options includeclopidogrel 75 mg daily [6], prasugrel 10 mg daily [7], and ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily.[8] (Level of Evidence: B)
b. In patients receiving drug eluting stent (DES) for a non-ACS indication, clopidogrel 75 mg daily should be given for at least 12 months if the patient is not at high risk of bleeding.[9][10][11] (Level of Evidence: B)
c. In patients receiving bare metal stent (BMS) for a non-ACS indication, clopidogrel should be given for a minimum of 1 month and ideally up to 12 months (unless the patient is at increased risk of bleeding; then it should be given for a minimum of 2 weeks).[12] (Level of Evidence: B)“
“3. Patients should be counseled on the importance of compliance with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and that therapy should not be discontinued before discussion with their cardiologist.[11] (Level of Evidence: C)”
Class IIa
“1. After PCI, it is reasonable to use aspirin 81 mg per day in preference to higher maintenance doses.[13][14][15][16][17] (Level of Evidence: B)”
“2. If the risk of morbidity from bleeding outweighs the anticipated benefit afforded by a recommended duration of P2Y12 inhibitor therapy after stent implantation, earlier discontinuation (e.g., less than 12 months) of P2Y12 inhibitor therapy is reasonable. (Level of Evidence: C)”
Class IIb
“1. Continuation of clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor beyond 12 months may be considered in patients undergoing placement of drug eluting stent (DES).[7][8] (Level of Evidence: C)”
