One-Year Outcomes in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From the Greek Antiplatelet Atrial Fibrillation Registry. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2023; 81:141-149. [PMID: 36410034 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000001389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
ABSTRACT GReek-AntiPlatElet Atrial Fibrillation registry is a multicenter, observational, noninterventional study of atrial fibrillation patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Primary endpoint included clinically significant bleeding rate at 12 months between different antithrombotic regimens prescribed at discharge; secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events and net adverse clinical events. A total of 647 patients were analyzed. Most (92.9%) were discharged on novel oral anticoagulants with only 7.1% receiving the vitamin K antagonist. A little over half of patients (50.4%) received triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT)-mostly (62.9%) for ≤1 month-whereas the rest (49.6%) received dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT). Clinically significant bleeding risk was similar between TAT and DAT [Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.08; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66-1.78], although among TAT-receiving patients, the risk was lower in those receiving TAT for ≤1 month (HR = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.25-0.99). Anticoagulant choice (novel oral anticoagulant vs. vitamin K antagonist) did not significantly affect bleeding rates ( P = 0.258). Age, heart failure, leukemia/myelodysplasia, and acute coronary syndrome were associated with increased bleeding rates. Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and net adverse clinical events was similar between ΤAT and DAT (HR = 1.73; 95% CI, 0.95-3.18, P = 0.075 and HR = 1.39; 95% CI, 0.93-2.08, P = 0.106, respectively). In conclusion, clinically significant bleeding and ischemic rates were similar between DAT and TAT, although TAT >1 month was associated with higher bleeding risk.

Abstract
Platelet function testing (PFT) could be a useful clinical tool to guide individualized antithrombotic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to investigate platelet reactivity (PR) in the context of a contemporary registry. "Real-world" data were retrieved from a nationwide, multicenter, observational study of AF patients on oral anticoagulants (OAC) undergoing PCI. Patients treated with a P2Y12 inhibitor, namely clopidogrel or ticagrelor, as part of double or triple antithrombotic therapy, were submitted to PFT before discharge and were followed up for 12 months. Out of 101 patients included in the study, 66 were submitted to PFT while on clopidogrel and 35 while on ticagrelor; PR was 162.9 ± 68 PRU and 46.02 ± 46 PRU, respectively (P < 0.001). High on-treatment PR (HTPR) was observed in 15 patients under clopidogrel (22.7%); 7 of them escalated to ticagrelor. Low on-treatment PR (LTPR) was found in 9 clopidogrel and 28 ticagrelor-treated patients (13.6% vs. 80%, P < 0.001), of whom only 1 de-escalated to clopidogrel. PR did not differ by OAC regimen. PFT results had no impact on aspirin prescription at discharge, while failed to predict significant bleeding events at follow up. Ticagrelor administration led to lower PR and lower incidence of HTPR in comparison with clopidogrel. Physicians' behavior in response to knowledge of a patient's PR was variable. Further studies are required to elucidate the role of PFT as a tool to guide individualized antithrombotic treatment in this clinical scenario.

Abstract
AIM Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation (PCI-S) in patients requiring chronic oral anticoagulant therapy (OAC) is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and ischemic complications. Different randomized studies showed a significant advantage of a double antithrombotic therapy and superiority of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) compared with warfarin, but real-world data are limited. Aim is to evaluate the antithrombotic management and clinical outcome of patients with an indication for OAC who undergo PCI-S in a 'real-world' setting. METHODS The multicentre prospective observational PERSEO (PERcutaneouS coronary intErventions in patients treated with Oral anticoagulant therapy) Registry (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03392948) has been designed to enrol patients requiring OAC treated by PCI-S in 25 Italian centres. A target of at least 1080 patients will be followed for 1 year and data on thromboembolic and bleeding events and changes in antithrombotic therapy will be registered. The primary end point is a combined measure of efficacy and safety outcome (NACE), including major bleeding events and major adverse cardiac and cerebral events at 1-year follow-up in patients treated with DOAC (and dual or triple antiplatelet therapy) compared with the corresponding strategies with vitamin K antagonists. A secondary prespecified analysis has been defined to evaluate NACE in dual versus triple antithrombotic therapy after hospital discharge at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION The PERSEO Registry will investigate in a 'real world' setting the safety and efficacy of DOAC versus warfarin and dual versus triple antithrombotic therapy in patients with indication for oral anticoagulant therapy who undergo PCI-S.

Abstract
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a subgroup with a challenging pharmacological management. Indeed, if on the one hand, antithrombotic therapy should reduce the risk related to recurrent ischaemic events and/or stent thrombosis; on the other hand, care must be taken to avoid major bleeding events. In recent years, several trials, which overall included more than 12 000 patients, have been conducted demonstrating the safety of different therapeutic combinations of oral antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents. In the present ANMCO position paper, we propose a decision-making algorithm on antithrombotic strategies based on scientific evidence and expert consensus to be adopted in the periprocedural phase, at the time of hospital discharge, and in the long-term follow-up of patients with AF undergoing PCI with/without ACS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it is unclear which combination of antithrombotic drugs is preferable and which is the optimal duration of treatment. AREAS COVERED The authors review the available evidence in this area resulting from single studies and meta-analyses. In the absence of direct head-to-head comparisons between different non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC), the authors review the available studies with NOACS in these patients and derived indirect comparisons. EXPERT OPINION In patients with AF who undergo PCI, a dual antithrombotic strategy which includes a NOAC plus single antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor (preferably clopidogrel) should be considered as the preferred treatment option in most cases. Oral anticoagulation associated with dual antiplatelet therapy (triple antithrombotic therapy) should be offered for no longer than 30 days to patients with very high thrombotic and low hemorrhagic risk. It is unclear whether the dual antithrombotic strategy should be continued beyond 12 months in patients at high risk of thrombotic events. Additional data from adequately powered controlled studies are needed to support the long-term efficacy of this strategy and to establish the best patient-tailored approach in this complex scenario.
