pen question: Potential Role (Risks and benefits) of NAs in AS no interaction with (dual) antiplatelet therapy on both efficacy and bleeding in the AF trials with NA it might be assumed that the respective advantages of the NA over VKA are maintained in dual or triple therapy. In addition, there was also no interaction between SAPT vs. DAPT in the AS trials with the NAs apixaban and rivaroxaban Not enough data of the AMIS-plus population to make any conclusion more data needed!
Summary I RKET provides the largest prospective experience involving high-risk elderly patients with AF comparing Warfarin vs. Rivaroxaban Efficacy: Significantly fewer cases of haemorrhagic stroke were observed in patients on rivaroxaban Safety: less fatal/intracranial bleedings and more gastrointestinal bleedings in patients on rivaroxaban
Summary II Subanalysis: onsistent efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban compared with warfarin in pts without prior stroke and with prior stroke similar treatment-related outcomes in patients with and without HF and across HF subgroups Prior MI was common (17%) and associated with substantial risk for subsequent cardiac events Persistent Afib subgroup associated with higher subsequent all-cause mortality rate
Summary III An increasing number of AS patients with Afib in Switzerland gets triple antithrombotic therapy with NAs In contrast of to the guidelines a substantial number of AS Afib patients is treated with Prasugrel or Ticagrelor in combination with anticoagulation (VKA or NAs) ngoing Rivaroxan Study (PINEER-PI) is addressing the safety aspects of this clinically important question (PI in Afib)

L.H.H.01.2015.0581-DE/EN onsensus recommendation - AF & AS / stable AD 1. In AF patients, stroke risk must be assessed using the HA2DS2-VASc score, and bleeding risk using the HAS-BLED score. (lass I ). 2. Where a NA is combined with clopidogrel and/or low-dose ASA, the lower tested dose for stroke prevention (dabigatran 110 mg b.i.d., rivaroxaban 15 mg qd or apixaban 2.5 mg b.i.d.) may be considered (lass IIb ). 3. In patients with AF and stable vascular disease the patient should be managed with A alone (i.e. whether NA or a VKA) (lass IIa B). 4. Novel P2Y12 receptor inhibitors (prasugrel and ticagrelor) should not be part of a triple therapy regimen in patients with AF (lass III ). Lip YH, Windecker S et. al EHJ 2014.
L.H.H.01.2015.0581-DE/EN onsensus recommendation - AF & stable AD 1. Stable AD and AF at low-bleeding risk (HAS-BLED 0 2) triple therapy (A, ASA 75 100 mg qd, clopidogrel 75 mg qd) for at least 4 weeks (no longer than 6 months) after PI (lass IIa ). followed by dual therapy with A (NA or VKA) and clopidogrel 75 mg/d (or ASA 75 100 mg/d) for up to 12 months (lass IIa ). HA2DS2-VASc=1 at low-bleeding risk (HAS-BLED 0 2), DAPT (ASA 75 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg), or dual therapy (A: NA or VKA) and clopidogrel 75 mg/d should be considered (lass IIa ). Dual therapy of A (i.e. NA or a VKA) and clopidogrel 75 mg/day may be considered as an alternative to initial triple therapy in selected patients with HA2DS2-VASc 2 (lass IIb ). 2. Stable AD and AF at high-bleeding risk (HAS-BLED >3) triple therapy (A, ASA 75 100 mg, clopidogrel 75 mg) or dual therapy consisting of A (NA or VKA) and clopidogrel 75 mg/day for 4 weeks followed by dual therapy with A and clopidogrel 75 mg/d (or ASA 75 100 mg/d) for up to 12 months (lass IIa ). HA2DS2-VASc=1 at high-bleeding risk (HAS-BLED >3) DAPT (ASA 75 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg/day, or dual therapy consisting of A (NA or VKA) and clopidogrel 75 mg/day may be considered (lass IIb ) for 12 months. Lip YH, Windecker S et. al EHJ 2014.
L.H.H.01.2015.0581-DE/EN onsensus recommendation - AF & stable AD 3. Long-term antithrombotic therapy with A (NA or VKA) (beyond 12 months) is recommended in all patients (lass I B). ombination A plus single antiplatelet therapy (clopidogrel 75 mg/day or ASA 75 100 mg/day)] may be considered in very selected cases, e.g. stenting of the left main, proximal left anterior descending, proximal bifurcation, recurrent MIs, etc. (lass IIb, ). 4. Gastric protection with PPIs should be considered in patients with A plus antiplatelet therapy (lass IIa, ). Lip YH, Windecker S et. al EHJ 2014.
