Background
Whether prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is more protective in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with shorter DAPT is uncertain. This meta-analysis examined whether shorter DAPT in patients with DES and CKD is associated with lower mortality or major adverse cardiovascular event rates compared with longer DAPT.
Methods
A Medline literature research was conducted to identify randomized trials in patients with DES comparing different DAPT duration strategies. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, or stent thrombosis (definite- probable). The secondary outcome was major bleeding. A random-effects model was used.
Results
Five randomized controlled trials were included (1,902 CKD patients). Short DAPT (≤6 months) was associated with a similar incidence of the primary outcome, compared with 12-months DAPT among patients with CKD (Figure). Twelve-months DAPT was also associated with a similar incidence of the primary outcome compared with extended DAPT (≥30 months) in the CKD subgroup (Figure). Numerically lower major bleeding event rates were detected with shorter vs. 12-month DAPT (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.29-1.60, p=0.38) and 12-month vs. extended DAPT (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.34-1.94, p=0.65) in CKD patients.
Conclusion
Short DAPT may be preferred to longer DAPT in CKD patients with DES.
