The combination of oral anticoagulants with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation (PCI-stenting) is subject to controversy due to the high risk of bleeding. In this multicenter retrospective parallel-group study, we compared the rate of adverse events in chronically anticoagulated patients who underwent PCI-stenting and were discharged on aspirin, clopidogrel and warfarin (triple antithrombotic therapy [TT] group) and were followed in Italian anticoagulation centers, with a parallel cohort of patients who underwent PCI-stenting and were discharged on DAT group. The primary endpoint was the incidence of major bleeding while the patients were in TT and DAT. A secondary endpoint was the occurrence of major ischemic adverse events (MACEs). The final cohort consisted of 229 TT patients and 231 DAT patients followed up for 6 and 7 months, respectively. There were 11 (4.8%; 9.1% patient/years) major bleeding events in the TT group (1 was fatal) as compared to 1 (0.4%; 0.7% patient/years) event in the DAT group (p = 0.003). Of the 28 (6.1%) MACE recorded during the follow-up, 12 (5.2%) occurred in the TT group and 16 (6.9%) in the DAT group. In conclusion, despite close monitoring of anticoagulated patients in dedicated centers, the major bleeding incidence remains high among unselected patients undergoing PCI-stenting and treated with TT. Any efforts to minimize these events should be pursued.
