Choosing the Right Antiplatelet Therapy: No One-Size-Fits-All

‘I still believe with the right dose in the right patient, there could be a way forward where there is less bleeding and preserving the ischemic benefit in a potent fashion.’ said Dr. Roxana Mehran in a conversation with Dr Vishal Rastogi at the annual India Live 2024.

Here are the top 5 takeaways:

1. Tailoring antiplatelet therapy: no one-size-fits-all
2. Drug-coated balloons may reduce dual antiplatelet therapy duration.
3. Thinking beyond antiplatelet therapy: managing LDL and A1C is crucial.
4. Drug-coated balloons: not for everyone, but useful in selected cases.
5. Aspirin-free strategies and factor XI inhibitors show promise.
