One- versus three-month DAPT after everolimus-eluting stent implantation in diabetic patients at high bleeding risk: results from the XIENCE Short DAPT programme

Among HBR patients with DM undergoing PCI, 1-month DAPT, as compared to 3-month DAPT, was not associated with an excess of fatal or non-fatal MI and even reduced the occurrence of bleeding. These findings should be interpreted in the context of a predominantly stable patient population with low procedural complexity and may not be generalisable to higher-risk cases.
