Abstract
AIMS Temporary dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is recommended following patent foramen ovale (PFO) percutaneous closure although its benefit, compared to single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), has not been demonstrated in this setting. We aimed at assessing outcomes following PFO closure according to the antiplatelet strategy at discharge. METHODS AND RESULTS The ambispective AIR-FORCE cohort included consecutive patients from seven centres in France and Canada undergoing PFO closure and discharged without anticoagulation. Patients treated in French and Canadian centres were mostly discharged with DAPT and SAPT, respectively. The primary endpoint was the composite of death, stroke, transient ischaemic attack, peripheral embolism, myocardial infarction, or BARC type ≥2 bleeding with up to 5 years of follow-up. The impact of the antiplatelet strategy on outcomes was evaluated with a marginal Cox model (cluster analyses per country) with inverse probability weighting according to propensity score. A total of 1532 patients (42.2% female, median age: 49 [40-57] years) were included from 2001 to 2022, of whom 599 (39.1%) were discharged with SAPT and 933 (60.9%) with DAPT, for ≤3 months in 894/923 (96.9%) cases. After a median follow-up of 2.4 [1.1-4.4] years, a total of 58 events were observed. In the weighted analysis, the rate of the primary endpoint up to 5 years was 7.8% in the SAPT strategy and 7.3% in the DAPT strategy (weighted hazard ratio 1.04, 95% confidence interval 0.59-1.83). CONCLUSION The antiplatelet strategy following PFO closure did not seem to impact clinical outcomes, thus challenging the current recommendations of temporary DAPT.
