Effects of Prolonged DAPT After Lower Extremity Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in Patients With LE-PAD

Summary

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with acetylsalicylic acid plus clopidogrel on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and major adverse limb events after percutaneous lower extremity revascularization in patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LE-PAD).
