Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Short-term DAPT group
1,200 patients to be newly registered: Undergo 3-month (+ 30 days) DAPT (aspirin and clopidogrel)
|
Drug: Clopidogrel
DAPT using aspirin 81 mg/day (minimal dose) and clopidogrel 75 mg/day should be conducted for 3 months (+ 30 days) after stenting.
|
No Intervention: Long-term DAPT group
1,200 patients to be appropriated from E-Japan post-marketing surveillance who meet all inclusion criteria and do not fall under any exclusion criteria of the present clinical study: Undergo 12-month DAPT (aspirin and clopidogrel)
|
- NACCE (Net adverse clinical and cerebral event) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]NACCE is defined as a composite endpoint consisting of death from some causes (including cardiac death and noncardiac death), myocardial infarction (Q-wave MI and non-Q wave MI), cerebral vascular accident, and major bleeding (as per the modified version of REPLACE-2 criteria for bleeding and as per GUSTO criteria for bleeding).
- Stent thrombosis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Incidence of stent thrombosis as per the definition by academic research council
- MACE (major adverse cardiac events) [ Time Frame: 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months ]Incidence of MACE at months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 after stenting. MACE is defined as a composite endpoint consisting of cardiac death from some causes (including cardiac and noncardiac death), MI (Q-wave MI and non-Q wave MI), TLR, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
- TVR (target vessel revascularization) [ Time Frame: 9 and 12 months ]Incidence of target vessel revascularization at months 9 and 12 after stenting.
- TLR (target lesion revascularization) [ Time Frame: 9 and 12 months ]Incidence of target lesion revascularization at months 9 and 12 after stenting.
- DAPT compliance [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Duration of DAPT and patient compliance.
- Hemorrhagic complications [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Incidence of hemorrhagic complications. (as per the modified version of REPLACE-2 criteria for bleeding and as per GUSTO criteria for bleeding)

- Patient with a verified history of active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding before Stenting.
- Patient showing impaired renal function. (serum creatinine concentration: > 1.8 mg/dL)
- Patient with known contraindications for aspirin or clopidogrel. (the physician should assess tolerability within the range of routine medical care)
- Patient with a known disorder who has a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
- Patient who is incompetent to adhere to all clinical FUs listed in the present protocol.
-
Angiographic exclusion criteria:
- Lesions located within the saphenous venin graft (SVG).
- Unprotected lesions in the left coronary trunk.
- Lesions of in-stent restenosis in previously deployed DES or BMS.
