Article 1: Temporal modulation of antiplatelet therapy in high-risk patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention: the TAILORED-CHIP randomized clinical trial.
Journal: European heart journal
PubMed Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40886179
Summary: The TAILORED-CHIP trial randomized over two thousand high-risk patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention to either a tailored antiplatelet strategy involving early escalation and later de-escalation of platelet inhibition based on platelet function testing, or a standard antiplatelet regimen. The study found that the tailored approach did not significantly reduce the composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or major bleeding at one year compared to the standard strategy. These results suggest that routine platelet function testing to guide antiplatelet therapy after complex percutaneous coronary intervention may not offer superior outcomes in high-risk patients.
