Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Background Choosing an antithrombotic regimen post coronary intervention in patients with concomitant indication for anticoagulation is a challenge commonly encountered by clinicians. Methods We performed a meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized controlled trials comparing outcomes of triple therapy (dual antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulant) with dual therapy (single antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulant) in patients on long-term anticoagulants after percutaneous coronary intervention. Major bleeding was the primary outcome. Random effects overall risk ratios were calculated using the DerSimonian and Laird model. Results Nine observational studies and 2 randomized controlled trials with a total of 7,276 patients met our selection criteria. At a mean follow up of 10.8 months major bleeding was higher in triple therapy cohort compared to dual therapy (6.6% versus 3.8%, RR 1.54, CI- 1.2-1.98, P |
