ShorT and OPtimal Duration of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy-3 Study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the benefit of the prasugrel monotherapy without aspirin as compared with the 1-month dual therapy with aspirin and prasugrel in terms of reducing bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stents (CoCr-EES, XienceTM) in patients with high bleeding risk or under the acute coronary syndrome patients.
