Christensen, Samuel Copt, John Gregson, Hans-Peter Stoll,Samantha Greene, and Marie-Claude Morice for the LEADERS FREE Investigators

2 High Bleeding Risk Patients (HBR) Mostly excluded from device and APT trials Never specifically studied Current guideline recommendations: BMS + one month DAPT DES + shortened DAPT 2% All-comers HBR

20 Conclusions ü At two years, the use of a BA9-DCS remained both significantly safer and more effective than a control BMS in HBR patients treated with a one-month only DAPT course ü subgroup was identified for which use of a BMS was superior to a DCS ü HBR patients suffer from a persistently high incidence of bleeding and thrombotic events, both of which are associated with a high and similar mortality over a one year period ü Identification of predictors of both the composite primary safety event and major bleeding may help design future trials of DAPT duration for HBR patients
